Abstract:
How might museums operate as a locus for research action? Based on the engagement of the co-chairs with burgeoning formations of museum digital research, this panel will bring together a set of presenters to share a range of perspectives and experiences that indicate the current state of practice research in the Australian cultural eco-system. This panel will explore how research has traditionally been situated in museums to articulate what the basis for a values-led approach to research into, for and through museums might entail if it fully embraces creative experimentation, nurtures reflective practice, and cultivates a willingness to operate openly and collaboratively across cultural, academic and creative industry sectors.
