About the Artist
Lindsey Peck Scherloum is a North Braddock, PA based artist who works in sculpture, installation, media arts and performance to create collaborative and participatory experiences that prompt stories and human connection to one another and their environments. She has done this with audience-collaborators at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, Center for Creative Reuse, The Mattress Factory, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, and with rural, incarcerated and otherwise underrepresented communities across the US and internationally. She is currently researching strategies to collectively examine, introspect, and share stories around hard topics through explorations of the future, handwork, and collaborative creation.
Her work has been shown in spaces across the US including Carnegie Museum of Art and the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, and has been published in journals such as Hot Metal Bridge and Fiber Art Now.

PROJECT
Lindsey Peck Scherloum with United Somali Bantu of Greater Pittsburgh
Scherloum collaborated with Somali Bantu, Central African, and African American residents to gather and share stories of migration.
“The PCC project allowed me to experiment with performance and fantasy as a catalyst for reflection about our relationship to natural resources. I had the freedom to highlight river experts whose experiences diverge from what society accepts as rational or sane thinking, or who spend intimate time living along the Allegheny.”
