Enjoyed discussing the Hereford Mappa Mundi today. Here's a version converted into modern political borders, to give you a sense of how the world looked from Hereford c. 1300 (source: www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/co...)

Have avoided posting on here recently as these final few months before we launch 'Mapping Saints' have been far too busy. Priorities?! 😅 Soon there will be updates!

A unique part of my job is the responsibility to "translate" physical exhibitions into digital. Using exhibit scripts as jumping off points, I write and research to expand content in ways that are not possible in person. We've just launched www.searchablemuseum.com/reckoning, the trickiest one yet

Landing page for https://www.searchablemuseum.com/reckoning with introductory text and a photograph of a Black woman with locs facing Bisa Butler's quilt of Harriet Tubman
Bisa Butler's "I Go To Prepare a Place for You" quilt juxtaposed with the carte-de-visite of Harriet Tubman it is based upon. We were able to present the images side by side at equal size to make the transformation clear to viewers
Headline "Roberto Lugo's Ghetto Krater" with descriptive text and four images showing different angles of his piece, which is based on an ancient krater but has illustrations from contemporary Black life
Headline "The Black Woman by Elizabeth Catlett" with descriptive text and then the first three images from this series of prints depicting Black women in many contexts

Thanks to my friend Anna for flagging this for me, an excellent example of how AI has made search engine results absolute garbage. For the record, I am a professor of the history of art at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I did author this article, though, which makes this extra delicious.
