In addition to identifying and supporting some extraordinary voices, the Silver List is an unprecedented opportunity to look at the diversity of artists and experts.

I created the inaugural Silver List over 2020 to 2021, in collaboration with Silver Eye Center for Photography and The Black List. Generous guidance and assistance for this project came from Franklin Leonard, founder of The Black List, and Joseph B. Kadane, Leonard J. Savage University Professor of Statistics and Social Sciences Emeritus at Carnegie Mellon University.
