Our mission at PAMM Education is rooted in a commitment to empower all individuals, with the critical tools of visual literacy and critical thinking. To further this goal, the PAMM Education team has curated a selection of digital educational resources.
Working with the theme in the exhibition titled Exclusive Tonsorial Services. These resources include organizations, resources, and books that explore historical and social themes relevant to the experiences of unhoused individuals and those affected by systemic inequities. Digital Humanities is a multidisciplinary form of scholarship, that uses digital platforms to show how the themes in art, literature, and sociology, are connected.
Explore these digital resources and discover unhoused and marginalized communities’ resources, stories, struggles, and triumphs.
PAMM is pleased to include in our digital offerings StoryCorps’s “Brightness In Black” interview with Miami barber Sergei Grant and Franklin Sirmans, director of the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) as part of artist Kate Capshaw’s Unaccompanied series at PAMM.
In the interview, they explore the unexpected camaraderie that can blossom in the intimate space of the barber chair.
