We're very happy to announce Roger S. Williams as the 2025 juror.
Roger is the head of conservation at Brown University Libraries and the John Carter Brown Library. At Brown, he oversees the care and health of all physical special collection materials: performing repairs, monitoring environments, ensuring safe storage and display, and educating staff, faculty, and students about conservation and material history. He is interested in peoples-based conservation, which centers communities and community values to determine decisions about cultural heritage.
Before his career in conservation, Roger worked for an NEA-funded collaborative program between a community arts organization and a housing initiative. He facilitated homemaking sessions with clients exiting homelessness and commissioned artworks to engender a sense of home.
In his non-career life, Roger is a practicing artist who uses painting, sculpture, and book arts to create playful works about human relationships with the environment. Roger has previously worked and lived in Chicago, the United Kingdom, and Central Virginia.
