Hi Everyone!
Please note that our regular 1st Tuesday of the month Coffee Chat will not be taking place tomorrow, but rather on
Tues the 16th. It will be a workshop run by Ngaire Blankenberg from the Creative Repair Studio.
The workshop:
Connecting Visitors and Content through an Interpretive Plan. Interpretive planning is the backbone of any narrative exhibition. It bring together the content from curatorial with the behaviour, needs and expectations of visitors into
a single framework to guide exhibition designers, educators and marketers. In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to create an interpretive plan, and how to use one, to develop a powerful, relevant exhibition.
The presenter:
Ngaire Blankenberg is the founding director of Institute for Creative Repair,
and A42- a new brand and cultural start-up that aims to preserve African
heritage through a group of micro heritage-resarts at small museums,
heritage sites, cultural villages and artist-run-centres across Africa. She is
the director of A42 House- Museum for Creative Repair in Johannesburg.
Previously, she was the Director of the Smithsonian National Museum of
African Art, and an independent cultural planner and strategist,
advising more than 55 cultural projects in 35 cities on 5 continents on all
aspects of museological practice. She is co-editor, with Gail Lord, of Cities,
Museums and Soft Power (AAM Press 2015) which urges museums to play
a more vital role in creating equitable, inclusive and empowering cities; and
co-editor, with Ali Hossaini, of the Manual of Digital Museum Planning,
(Rowman and Littlefield 2017) which provides practical guidance for
cultural institutes to transform to reflect new digital realities.
