Deirdre Donohue
An artist, educator & librarian: I am the Stephanie Shuman Librarian at the International Center of Photography, and faculty at Pratt Institute's School of Information and the ICP/Bard MFA in Advanced Photographic Studies. In the interstitial time, I read & make things.
I have worked in New York City museums for 30 years in many roles, experiencing the great evolution of the definitions & deployments of the terms "library," "archive," and "museum" in those years. The resulting kaleidoscope is the one that I endeavor to hold up to the eyes of students in graduate programs of Information and Fine Arts. I enjoy the ensuing conversation, and learn a tremendous amount from it. That harvest, in turn, is plowed back in to propagate my foregoing activities at the ICP.
