This is part one (of three) of Episode Eight of We’ve Got History, but don't worry about listening to them in order. 

In this episode we're introducing Bianca Packham’s career path. Topics include heritage experience in South Africa; links to media studies and journalism; relocating (to both St Andrews and London); the everyday activities of Exhibition work; preconceptions about her role and advice for getting into the industry.

Keep a look out for part two and three of Episode Eight. Part Two will give information on the physical/online exhibitions which the Centre for Research Collections at Edinburgh University provides. The third part will cover some wider conversations about the sector and exhibitions process.

You can visit the ‘Student of Light’, the Exhibition at the Main Library in George Square between May 6th and September 30th 2022. You can also check out online Exhibitions here.
