New Perspectives on Media and Education. A series of interviews with innovators and thought-leaders, hosted by Professor Ger Graus.
James Bradburne’s illustrious career In museums and galleries sets him apart as an innovator, in tune not only with the creative zeitgeist, but people. This especially young people – and how they react to and impact on exhibits, art, cultural experiences and curated collections. His trade mark has been “curating the community as much as curating the collection” in the many institutions he ran over many years.
In this wide-ranging interview with Professor Ger Graus, the man who says he’s “allergic to no” offers insights on managing creative institutions, working in large organisations, and serving audiences in ways that release their own creative spirit.
They discuss their shared enthusiasm for the Regio Emilia system of education which focuses on inspiring and facilitating children to create their own educational agenda and aspirations. James reveals his tips on the power of listening and the importance of respect, and – in invaluable examples for all creatives – some of the ways he has brought audience agency to the creative process, as well as to education, and the life of the communities he’s served.
