AIC's 52nd Annual Meeting

How does the community setting impact the conservation process? Thanks to funding for a research project during my 1-year National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in the Book Department at the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts I was able to spend a week on site at George Floyd Global Memorial where I remediated mold on over 100 offerings, attended and spoke at the Rise and Remember Conference, and participated in other events for the Rise and Remember Celebration. This work presents the mold remediation process used and summarizes the creation of a quick reference guide for mold remediation for works similar to protest art. Next, the poster explores how the conservation process is adapted to the community setting by considering factors like limited access to resources, work space availability, and the necessity of relationship building. Finally, the poster begins to define the term “street conservation” and discuss its similarities and differences from “art conservation”.
