Dr. Moïse is currently a CLIR/Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Data Curation for Haitian Visual Arts. She works jointly with the Grinnell College Library and the Waterloo Center for the Arts. Dr. Moïse will play a central role in coordinating the Haitian Art Digital Crossroads project (HADC). The HADC aims to make the Haitian art collection of the Waterloo Center for the Arts, the largest publicly held collection of Haitian art in the world, digitally accessible as a preparatory study for the creation of a digital hub for a network of online resources in Haitian and Caribbean studies.

ABOUT PETROUCHKA MOISE
Dr. Petrouchka Moïse is an assistant professor and cultural & community-based digital curator at Grinnell College Libraries. As an artist/scholar, she teaches classes on visual and material culture and curatorial studies, with a focus on the Caribbean. In her role as Cultural and Community-Based Digital Curator, Dr. Moïse is responsible for developing interdisciplinary initiatives to enhance the learning experience of the academic and cultural community. Dr. Moïse joined Grinnell College as a 2020-24 CLIR/Mellon post-doctoral fellow to design the Haitian Art: A Digital Crossroads (HADC) Project. HADC is a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Humanities Collections and Reference Resources (HCRR) grant project by Grinnell College Libraries and the Waterloo Center for the Arts (WCA). HADC focuses on creating a digital asset management system and a public-facing platform for the Waterloo Center for the Arts’ Haitian art collection, as well as for other collaborating partners, to assist in digitizing and cataloging their collections. She is co-lead of the HADC project, which identifies the practice of “traditional provenance” as a factor in creating systemic barriers that promote the lack of data related to Haitian visual art. Dr. Moïse formulated a counter-methodology, coined “going beyond provenance,” which provides an alternative lens in identifying the data fields omitted from the dominant narrative. Her goal is to invest in community-based documentarians who will expand library collections with new perspectives, design student internships and fellowships for research projects, engage the next generation interested in digital humanities and curation, and create a range of digital engagements to connect with underserved communities and institutions.
