Designers will discuss their experiences in the development process of an exhibition as either in-house or external exhibition designers:
- In-house designers enable greater collaboration insofar as they are fully integrated into the content design teams. They understand the institution’s constraints, are available for exchange, and are ready to rapidly reorient the creative process and open up new avenues of thought.
- External designers bring a new perspective that can shake up automatism of the exhibition concept and can shift the axis of creativity while using a more formal process to render the final product.
After each speaker delivers a short presentation about their experiences, participants will be invited to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of one and the other.
