A
Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
dr
petruska
moyes,
and
I
am
a
clear
melon,
fellow
with
grinnell
college,
and
my
title
is
data
curist
for
haitian
visual
arts.
So
it
was
the
national
endowment
of
the
humanities
and
it
was
a
planning
grant,
and
so
this
the
dollars
that
are
allocated
to
this
is
to
do
the
research
and
to
develop
the
plan
and
the
theory
and
the
cattle
and
the
logic
model
for
the
catalog.
A
So
that
is
what
definitely
will
need
more
assistance
with,
but
this
is
just
a
drop
in
the
bucket,
even
without
just
these
pieces.
But
what
the
waterloo
is
able
to
do
and
is
about
to
do
is
actually
talk
about
a
different
form
of
engagement
with
the
relationship
with
donors,
curators
and
museum
visitors.
So
we're
trying
to,
like
I
said,
go
beyond
povina's
just
go
beyond
the
placard
to
give
us
a
lot
more
information
about
the
lives
of
the
artists,
the
engagement
of
the
donors
and
the
landscape
that
these
objects
have
traveled.
