Reflecting Value S2 Ep1: The digital (r)evolution?
The first episode of Season Two of the podcast Reflecting Value. This episode explores the different ways that cultural organisations and practitioners use the digital to engage with audiences.
We explore the role of Tik-Tok in growing engaged audiences; how the digital can help build connections with communities at a hyper-local level; and the ways in which African communities are taking back ownership of their heritage through the process of digitisation.
