California African American Museum Executive Director Cameron Shaw
Running a Museum During a Global Pandemic Is Creativity Every Single Day
Cameron Shaw is the executive director of the California African American Museum (CAAM). A native Angeleno, she previously served as CAAM’s deputy director and chief curator; before that, she was executive director and founding editor of Pelican Bomb, a New Orleans-based nonprofit contemporary art organization. Before speaking at a Zócalo/Helms Bakery District event, “Will a New Generation of Leaders Shake Up L.A.’s Culture?,” she talked in the green room about being a homebody, her best Halloween costume, and why her parents’ home “feels and looks like them.”
