A (the) Curator of Jewelry: Emily Stoehrer, PhD

Welcome to Season 4 of Perceived Value!

In the 51st episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is in Boston, MA as a visiting artist at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts. Sarah has been invited to speak to the metals/jewelry students about her diverse studio practice and record a podcast episode while on campus. Boston is home to the only curator dedicated solely to jewelry in the United States and so asking Dr.Emily Stoehrer to be the guest for this special recording was a no-brainer.

Sarah and Emily were already acquaintances having met while both were presenting at the ECU Symposium in 2018. In the SMFA library while students and faculty looked on, the two women sat down to discuss Emily’s transition from working at the District Attorney’s office to student at FIT, the stress of fronting business expenses, Boston traffic, and what exactly does the day-to-day life as a curator involve.

A Celebration of Jewelry: Bella Neyman of NYCJW

In the 23rd episode of Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown sits down with independent curator, journalist, and co-founder of NYC Jewelry Week, Bella Neyman. Sarah has traveled to Brooklyn, NY to discuss what exactly NYCJW is, why Bella and JB Jones felt the need to start it, and what those attending can expect for this inaugural event. Beyond NYCJW, the two women talk about how Bella came to be an advocate for contemporary jewelry, starting a blog to gain exposure, and the ins and outs of getting paid as a freelance writer.
