Description
What do cultural institutions need to do digital work? And what risks do we run if we don't make sure these needs are supported?
Cultural institutions like museums and galleries often frame the 'digital' as an opportunity to facilitate access, inclusion, and participation, but such digital work is not available to all. This book shows just how unevenly distributed these capacities are and offers scholars and practitioners a vital resource for understanding how such digital inequalities impact access, inclusion, and participation.
Establishing an understanding of what cultural institutions need to adopt, manage, and mitigate the risks associated with increasingly advanced technologies, this book outlines and how we might even the sectoral playing field, providing a manifesto for cultural policy that puts digital equality before transformation.
