So glad to have rediscovered it today - nothing like the good old #spreadsheet. https://media.tenor.com/G5vkzSwq1LEAAAAC/excel-microsoft.gif?hh=480&ww=48020 Aug 2025 14:59 +0000at://did:plc:kceslinlnb757mcb4lpdiwab/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwtowifmsk2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/medhavi.bsky.social/post/3lwh6k57phs2rThe day has finally come to share something I’ve been working on for 2 years with the team at DicksonPoonSchool of Law @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social I’m slowly going to come out of my social media slumber - but meanwhile, here’s the link theheritagelab.in/womens-work-worth-exhibition-main https://theheritagelab.in/womens-work-worth-exhibition-main15 Aug 2025 15:34 +0000at://did:plc:kceslinlnb757mcb4lpdiwab/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwh6k57phs2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/medhavi.bsky.social/post/3lpcd3kigvs2gAm sort of excited for the #InternationalMuseumDay theme this time. Even though I was skeptical about another deliberation on “future of museums” … it is the second part that has me motivated — “in rapidly changing communities”.16 May 2025 15:16 +0000at://did:plc:kceslinlnb757mcb4lpdiwab/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpcd3kigvs2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/medhavi.bsky.social/post/3lmeiq7lge22tAfter attending a very interesting lecture, I had the opportunity to have a little coffee-chat with the speaker..the conversation flowed into open knowledge territory (his upcoming book will be OA) & then he said “Wikipedia! Who writes those pages - we can’t trust it right?”.

So this month of March, I immersed myself into learning from the best, being inspired & taking my “irritation” (about museum newsletters) to “optimism”. 🌻 https://media.tenor.com/GpmeEQM0BhUAAAAC/newsletter-paper-plane.gif?hh=331&ww=49812 Mar 2025 11:51 +0000at://did:plc:kceslinlnb757mcb4lpdiwab/app.bsky.feed.post/3lk6jduno3k2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/medhavi.bsky.social/post/3ljkoi2csic2iNothing like the comfort of working with old partners! The team at WikiUK and I have been reaching out to GLAMs for our fellowship project ! I heard from an old partner institution (protocol wise, have to wait to share) who said “yes” hours into the email outreach 🥹🥹🥰04 Mar 2025 14:30 +0000at://did:plc:kceslinlnb757mcb4lpdiwab/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljkoi2csic2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/medhavi.bsky.social/post/3lizdmh23c224That “why are you working when you can play with me” look.25 Feb 2025 17:00 +0000at://did:plc:kceslinlnb757mcb4lpdiwab/app.bsky.feed.post/3lizdmh23c224https://bsky.app/profile/medhavi.bsky.social/post/3liz47s6uns22We’re teaming up with @wikimediauk.bsky.social ( it’s now Insta-official too 🥲) to bring fresh perspectives, & uncover untold stories related to South Asian collections housed in UK-based #GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums).

Our #mememaker is popular with readers & so I wondered if we can use it for our critical thinking challenges! Lets see how it goes. For now, testing it with a #culturalxcollabs experiment inspired by our Insta-community! https://www.theheritagelab.in/world-war-ii-critical-thinking-history-challenge/15 Feb 2025 12:09 +0000at://did:plc:kceslinlnb757mcb4lpdiwab/app.bsky.feed.post/3li7ood4oak2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/medhavi.bsky.social/post/3lfrxy32gk22j#GLAM friends : Do you know any #museums who have a diverse digital audience acquisition & retention strategy(i.e beyond social media)? If your museum is doing that / thinking of it, am looking to talk to you! #museumsandtheweb #digitalculture #audienceengagement #museumoutreach #GLAM15 Jan 2025 14:28 +0000at://did:plc:kceslinlnb757mcb4lpdiwab/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfrxy32gk22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/medhavi.bsky.social/post/3lbbz3cqpbk2zA very random image — 1. Because no workshop is ever complete without post-its. 2. Because such photos are always a great way to share the “stuff you can’t share yet”. Currently trying to answer to the big question of how cultural institutions can respond to the dynamic changes in digital work.19 Nov 2024 08:24 +0000at://did:plc:kceslinlnb757mcb4lpdiwab/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbbz3cqpbk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/medhavi.bsky.social/post/3lb7rs3hhs22xFinally — friends from X are here & Bluesky ain’t so lonely anymore 🎉😀18 Nov 2024 11:08 +0000at://did:plc:kceslinlnb757mcb4lpdiwab/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb7rs3hhs22x
