Interviewing artist Ursula von Rydingsvard for the Storm King Oral History Program

About

In my practice as an Oral Historian, I conduct interviews with people to document their life and career experiences. Neighborhood history, social movements, activism, and artistic practices inform the questions I ask and the projects I help design and carry out. 

As a Project Consultant, I help clients define the shape and scope of interview-based projects, including the technical, budgetary, and practical requirements necessary to engage in ethical work in right relationship with neighbors and community. 

Whether the audience is community members, museum-goers, documentary filmmakers, families, radio producers, writers, or researchers at community-based organizations or university archives, I ensure that oral histories and interview-based collections will serve as a valuable resource that resonates far into the future.

My work has focused on topics including visual arts and artists' legacies, gender and sexuality, memorials and monuments, the built and natural landscape, healers, historic preservation, NYC neighborhood history, AIDS activism, and international philanthropy
