Curatorial Leadership in Collections: Connect and Activate Case Studies 2021
Throughout the pandemic we have been working with museum collections across Scotland to explore how contemporary art can make a difference. We’ve produced new resources to help museums and galleries understand how artists can work with them to inspire communities, generate new tools, allow hidden histories to surface, and imagine a better future.
