Digital Leadership: Creating Transformational Change in the Art World

Episode 12: Part 3/3 of Dr. Sophie Frost and Isotta’s discussion on digital leadership in the arts, culture and museum sector. Sophie shares her experience with ‘Digital Courage, Digital Literacy’, a course she designed and has been teaching at Goldsmiths University of London. This leads into a conversation on the pressing topic of online community and its increasingly pivotal role in shaping the initiatives and programmes of arts institutions. Sophie reflects on her past work and reveals how her most recent project with the Science Museum Group has brought to light an overlooked ‘digital labor’ class present in museums. The episode concludes on an exciting and optimistic note, Sophie details how open attitudes towards innovation and technology in the arts and culture sector are mirrored by interest in industry wide transformation, from dismantling hierarchies of access to pre-existing structures of inequality. DonateMusic by Blue Dot SessionsCover art by Eleonora TucciSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/art-is/donations
