9.03 Workshop Frictions of the Digital: Rethinking Innovation and Engagement in the GLAM Sector
The workshop draws on the concept of digital frictions to rethink innovation as a process of negotiation rather than smooth progress. Combining talks (20 min), case-based discussions, and a collaborative mapping exercise, the workshop invites participants to identify key challenges and strategies for meaningful engagement with digital heritage.
