Biography
Sara Woodbury’s research explores the intersections between mobility studies and museum studies in relation to art access. Her dissertation focuses on outreach art exhibitions and how they potentially enable or restrict art access through their content, transportation, and community engagement. An experienced museum curator, she is currently collaborating with the Barry Art Museum at Old Dominion University on the interdisciplinary exhibition, Motion and Emotion: Exploring Affect from Automata to Robots, scheduled to open in 2022. Prior to coming to William and Mary, Sara held curatorial positions at the Roswell Museum and Art Center, Shelburne Museum, and the Dallas Museum of Art.
