The Labor Behind the Legacy: A Perceived Value Panel at SNAG x Detroit

SNAG Conference x Detroit

The Labor Behind the Legacy: A Perceived Value Panel

Moderated by Sarah Rachel Brown
Panelists: Tracey Carswell, Trice Clark, and Jimena Rios

“The 2026 SNAG conference theme, Labor & Legacy, explores jewelry and metalwork as both practice and inheritance—honoring the labor of makers and their commitments to sharing knowledge. This intergenerational passion drives the future forward.

The Labor Behind the Legacy: A Perceived Value Panel: Every exhibition and moment of visibility in our field is built on immense labor, some celebrated and much unseen. Drawing on the Perceived Value podcast’s ethos of radical transparency, this panel addresses the financial and logistical realities of independently curating exhibitions and producing events. Through candid discussion, panelists will outline budgets and project management approaches, offering a clearer view of the labor behind legacy.”
