UPCOMING EPISODE

EPISODE 12 – Creative Climate Chats: future museums and local histories

Summary:

This Creative Climate Chat is a lunchtime session forming part of the Museums, Cities, Cultural Power Symposium.

We’re hosting this exciting lunchtime session with Sadie Young, Director of Timespan, a cultural organisation in Helmsdale, a village in the very north east of the Scottish Highlands, with local, global and planetary ambitions to utilise culture for social change. We’ll be discussing how museums and galleries can uncover and contextualise local histories and how they can connect to wider movements to help enact radical social change.

We’ll also be joined by Hilary Jennings, who will tell us more about Happy Museum and their new partnership with Julie’s Bicycle.
