Today we speak with Medhavi Gandhi, director of arts and culture conservation organisation Happy Hands and founder of The Heritage Lab, a digital media ?
- I am working on multiple projects right now; but for March, the focus is definitely on Wikipedia’s Art+Feminism campaign and one we started of our own for Women’s History Month, called ‘#TheseMughalWomen’.
- An interesting campaign that has started in India is #ChaloMuseum, pushed by the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, and we’re trying to make visiting museums a ‘cool’ thing to do.
- Then while working on artisan-education and helping them innovate on product design, I started visiting museums a lot, and well - that got me into the ‘history of art’ part of it!
- I’ll speak specifically for museums - you definitely see so many women making a difference at important positions - whether as historians or art critics, as curators, researchers, archaeologists - women are leading different spaces.
