In this episode, Bianca Packham, the Exhibitions Officer (from the Engagement Team) at the CRC gives information about the GLAM sector and the process of putting on an Exhibition at the CRC.

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

Topics include how far in advance an Exhibition is planned; the enquiries process; Bianca's role bridging the gap between stakeholder/funder/curator and visitor; the topic of tangible and fixed versus abstract and unfixed as well as her thoughts about what makes a good story/narrative. The CRC will shortly be looking for volunteers over the Fringe Festival so keep an eye out on the CRC's social media.

In the first part of this episode we introduced Bianca Packham's career path. In the second part we gave information about the physical and online Exhibitions put on by Edinburgh University.

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.
