This was part two of Episode Eight of We’ve Got History, but don't worry about listening to them in order.

In this episode, Bianca Packham, the Exhibitions Officer (from the Engagement Team) at the CRC gives information about the physical and online Exhibitions put on by Edinburgh University.

Topics include how her original role was affected by COVID-19; her new hybrid role embracing the digital world of exhibitions; online exhibition examples; debates surrounding long-term access; free admission; exhibitions in perpetuity; objectives of an exhibition at the CRC; her favourite museum/gallery and the joys of experiencing diverse collections.

In the first episode we introduced Bianca Packham's career path. Keep a look out for part three of Episode Eight as this 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.
