Transforming the Visitor Experience: Cultural Mediation in Practice Workshop
As part of the Perspective – 2023 Queensland Regional Art Awards Touring Exhibition, UQ Art Museum is proud to partner with Flying Arts Alliance to deliver this one-day intensive Cultural Mediation workshop Court House Gallery.
This workshop is a professional development opportunity for artists and arts workers that will advance their knowledge and approach to visitor engagement through exposure to cultural mediation practice and principles defined by UQ Art Museum cultural mediators.
Cultural mediation is a visitor engagement practice that sees museum staff and volunteers’ journey alongside the visitor in an act of mutual exchange. In this interactive workshop you will explore the history and foundations of cultural mediation from its conceptual European origins, and building on this, experiment with UQ Art Museum’s guiding principles, which underpin the practice. Participants will have the opportunity to put cultural mediation into practice, extend their engagement skill sets and will leave with a renewed perspective of the visitor experience and practical tips and tools to develop cultural mediation into a bespoke engagement model.
