DAM Fest Europe 2021
Keynote: A Day in the Life of an Archivist, Art Director and Curator
Giving 20th Century Pop Culture Collections Prominence
In conversation with Mat Bancroft, we’ll hear how, in his role as archivist and curator, he delves deep into pop culture collections. We’ll hear about the innovation that’s necessary to bring together and display several exhibitions simultaneously.
Mat will share:
- His background
- How he works with technology and digital resources, including how he worked with the families of the founders of ‘Factory Records’ and on the curation of two exhibitions celebrating the label's legacy
- Experiences of working with fashion brand Fred Perry and musician Johnny Marr and issues involved in rights management and governance
What others say
HS events are one of the best learning opportunities available whether you are new to the DAM space or a seasoned professional trying to keep current.
HS DAM events has set the bar for virtual conferences! Live sessions, engaging polls and questions boxes, chats with attendees, and virtual contests for swag...I don't know how a virtual conference could be more awesome! I look forward to this conference every year and the team at HS never disappoints!
HS DAM events have been lifesavers this year when we could not attend in person. It has added many ideas and tools to my DAM toolbox.
