Online Course: "Creating Exhibitions Through the Collective"
The online training centre Museum Study is offering a new four-week course entitled "Creating Exhibitions Through the Collective: Insight into Community Co-Curation", starting on 2 October.
In this course, participants will investigate how community involvement during all stages of the exhibit development process can lead to interpretation that is credible, community empowerment, and advocacy. Tips and strategies will be provided to build sustainable frameworks for this type of engagement.
The topics covered in this class are heavily dependent on seeking out a multitude of community voices and developing strategies for external participatory engagements in a collective manner. The course will encourage participants to generate and refine their own strategies for community engagement.
