With designers from Scene Shift: The Book and The Exhibit
In this pre-recorded session, scenic designers Sibyl Wickersheimer, Afsoon Pajoufar, Louisa Thompson Pregerson, Chen-Wei Liao, and Deb O have a candid conversation about being a woman in scenic design.
About Scene Shift: The Book
Conceived, curated, and edited by Sibyl Wickersheimer and Maureen Weiss, 30 women set designers and designers of color come together in purely candid conversation, diving into the mysterious world of scenography, asking the hows, whys, and “…what is our experience…?”
Designed front to back by artists, this book defies boundaries selling itself as a book of art, trade/professional textbook, and conversation piece. It features 150 stunning photographs from these designers’ repertoire and a link for the reader to join the conversation.
The provocative dialogue serves as a timeless playbook for younger generations. Learn more about the book HERE.
About Scene Shift: The Exhibit
Scene Shift: The Exhibit at the USC Fisher Museum of Art in Los Angeles is a chance for the audience to get up close and personal with the work of contemporary scenic designers. The exhibit runs through April 6, 2024. Learn more HERE.
