On view from September 17, 2023, through August 4, 2024, John Waters: Pope of Trash is the first comprehensive exhibition dedicated to John Waters’s moviemaking, exploring his process, themes, and unmatched style.
In this Making of an Exhibition video, Senior Exhibitions Curator Jenny He and Associate Curator Dara Jaffe took us behind the scenes. Along with Bill Kramer, CEO of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; Laura Belevica, Director of Exhibition Design; and Sophie Hunter, Senior Objects Conservator, they revealed how they imbued the exhibition with Waters’ humor and heart.
