Exhibitions as sites of impact generation

Activity: Participating in or organising an event typesParticipation in workshop, seminar, course

Description

This workshop, a part of the University of Edinburgh's 'Impact Festival 2025', explored the scope and potential of research exhibitions as sites for impact generation. We began by sharing our experiences and insights on the potential research impacts we have identified through our use of exhibitions relating to Chagossian displacement; community-led futures in Edinburgh; and breast cancer surgery experiences. Following our presentations, participants were placed in small groups with similar research interests, and conceptualised artworks and exhibitions through which they might seek to generate research impact.
