Review of Scene Shift: The Exhibit

“Wickersheimer and Weiss sent out survey questions to [30] designers, then held a series of conversations between June 2020 and January 2021, when most theatres were shut down to prevent the spread of Covid and artists were grappling both with how to pay their bills and how (or whether) to return to an industry built on the backs of undervalued laborers.… Neither the work nor the conversations documented by Scene Shift’s designer cohort are over; Wickersheimer and Weiss invite readers to contribute their own stories via the book’s website, possibly for a future edition.”
