This internship is supported by MoMA‘s Friends of Education, a Museum affiliate group dedicated to supporting African American and African diaspora artists and audience development at the Museum. The intern participates in the entire spectrum of curatorial activities that the Department of Film engages in, from exhibition planning and execution to working with the Celeste Bartos Film Preservation Center.

Focus: The internship focuses on three exhibitions in particular: the exhibition and accompanying publication for The Berlin School, which explores the new and aesthetically driven form of German political cinema; the ongoing MoMA partnership with the Berlin Film Festival; and Vienna Unveiled, a major collaborative exhibition that explores Vienna throughout the history of cinema as a city both real and mythic. In addition, the intern assists various curatorial and administrative staff of the department in all aspects of film operations.

Eligibility:  Recent graduates of bachelor’s or master’s degree programs. The Museum encourages candidates from diverse backgrounds and academic disciplines to apply. International candidates are eligible to apply.

Requirements: The ideal candidate will have a liberal arts academic background and a general knowledge of film and film culture. Fluency in German is preferred. Any previous experience working in a museum is helpful, but is not essential

Stipend: Approximately $22,000, based on available funding. Health benefits, two weeks paid vacation, and an additional $1,500 to cover travel expenses and registration fees for one approved professional conference, are also included

Sophia Martelly safe driving campaign “Malè pa gen prejije”

8 Mar

So we found these flyers on the FB page of Haiti’s First Lady Sophia Martelly.  This was a safe driving campaign, promoted during Haiti Kanaval 2012.

Tragedy has no Prejudice. Don’t drink alcohol while you drive Take Responsibility. Safe Roads for Us All

Some Suggestions that can save your life. Don’t drive fast, it’s better to arrive safely. Don’t drink alcohol while you drive. Don’t talk on the phone or send text messages while you are driving. Drivers respect pedestrians, bike riders and motorcyclist. Wear a helmet when you are riding a bike or motorcycle. You must always wear a seat belt. I wish you all a joyous Kanaval. Have fun, Tet Kale! An Remember Tragedy has no Prejudice. Sophia Martelly First Lady of the Republic
