We are excited to share the first episode of Open Culture VOICES, a vlog series of short interviews with open GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) experts from around the world. The Open Culture Program at Creative Commons aims to promote better sharing of cultural heritage in GLAMs collections. With Open Culture VOICES, we’re thrilled to bring you various perspectives from dozens of experts speaking in many different languages on what it’s like to open up heritage content online. In this interview, we hear from Medhavi Gandhi, founder of The Heritage Lab, India’s first digital platform that connects museums and citizens through engaging campaigns, content and resources.

Medhavi responds to the following questions: 

1. What are the main benefits of open GLAM?
2. What are the barriers?
3. Could you share something someone else told you that opened up your eyes and mind about open GLAM?
4. Do you have a personal message to those hesitating to open up collections?

Episodes will be released twice a week until June 2022. Learn more about the Open Culture VOICES series here>>
