ICOM UK S&EP Event 1: Curating the Digital Age

Museum Talk Title: Invisible Museum Communities--Curating in the Digital Age The post-covid era opens up a new field for museum workers to extend virtual connections online, which also processes new forms of social impact. However, how can we make ‘invisible’ audiences involved and generate conversations for making voices ‘visible’? For ICOM Students and Emerging Professionals' meeting in May, art curator Helena Cox will touch upon the topics of different aspects of working with the University of York’s art collection. With a focus on public engagement through digital practices, this talk will explore methods, opportunities and challenges for embracing unknown audiences via social media’s power of connection. Speaker: Helena Cox Helena Cox is an art historian and curator, recently appointed the inaugural Art Curator at the University of York, overseeing over 900 artworks from the University's collection, including works by renowned artists such as Barbara Hepworth, Keith Vaugh, Sidney Nolan and Aubrey Williams.
