Norma Jean Calderwood Associate Curator of Islamic and Later Indian Art
HARVARD ART MUSEUMS
The Harvard Art Museums seek an emerging or established curator of Islamic and/or South Asian art. Engaging in scholarly and public debates on the Harvard University campus and beyond, the curator will lead the charge in deepening the museums’ presentations of the art of the Islamic regions and South Asia, and in proposing fresh perspectives on the definition of these fields for the 21st century. We especially welcome candidates with a demonstrated commitment to addressing the interconnections of art and faith, and to expanding the existing canon, frameworks, and narratives to highlight the diversity of the visual cultures of these geographic areas.
