✏️ Exploring #museums & #culture in a digital world 🏛️ 🖥️ Created theheritagelab.in

📌 South Asia Grants team, Wikimedia Foundation & and some Open GLAM work.
After attending a very interesting lecture, I had the opportunity to have a little coffee-chat with the speaker..the conversation flowed into open knowledge territory (his upcoming book will be OA) & then he said “Wikipedia! Who writes those pages - we can’t trust it right?”. Owwch.

We’re teaming up with @wikimediauk.bsky.social ( it’s now Insta-official too 🥲) to bring fresh perspectives, & uncover untold stories related to South Asian collections housed in UK-based #GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums).

A very random image — 1. Because no workshop is ever complete without post-its. 2. Because such photos are always a great way to share the “stuff you can’t share yet”.

Currently trying to answer to the big question of how cultural institutions can respond to the dynamic changes in digital work.

As a user I would like that option - as someone who doesn’t know much about European art, if I like something & want to share it to social, I often get a bit lazy trying to read up & making sure am sharing the right info with my followers… & end up then sharing v.little (example below)

Since morning, I’ve been reviewing the submissions to this call for stories about museums — to read about museums from Ladakh, Manipur & lesser known collections in the words of their curators - has been such a wonderful experience.. 😊😊😇 can’t wait to share the stories!

One of the best exhibitions I visited in recent times is #BerlinGlobal — among the many reasons, I love when exhibitions address relevant, present day topics. Thought provoking and fun - definitely going back to see this !
