How do you convert academic research into an engaging, participatory museum experience? This was one of the questions the CineMuseSpace team explored during a recent workshop at the School of Museum Studies of the University of Leicester. The special guests of the event were the representatives of the project’s two partner museums, which included Sandra Penketh (Director of Art Galleries of the National Museums Liverpool), Zoe Dunbar, (Director of the CFCCA in Manchester) and Marianna Tsionki (Research Curator of the CFCCA in Manchester). Led by the experienced team around CineMuseSpace Co-investigator Suzanne MacLeod, the two-day workshop allowed the participants to explore and create connections between the two future exhibition venues and the first project research findings from Cambridge.
