Never-before-seen excerpts of medieval manuscripts adorn The Getty’s North Pavillion in Our Voices, Our Getty: Reflection on Manuscripts, an exhibition running now through April 27. Complementing the centuries-old works on the gallery walls are reflections by interns from the Getty Marrow Undergraduate Internship program, including Photography and Media student Alejandro Caminos (Art BFA 25).
Caminos and his 15 fellow Getty Marrow interns, who represent universities across the US, were invited to respond to the exhibition’s nature theme. The resulting personal and creative reflections took shape as letters, poems, and fiction. The exhibition marks the second time that museum staff have collaborated with Getty interns, following 2023’s successful show Our Voices, Our Getty: Reflecting on Drawings.
“This was an exciting opportunity for interns to work through the creation of an exhibition and interpret art in a relatable way,” Elizabeth Morrison, senior curator of manuscripts at the Getty Museum, noted in the announcement. “We are delighted that this exhibition showcases the diverse voices of our interns and hope that it will inspire visitors to also bring their personal experiences and thoughts to these historic objects.”
