Episode 12: Open Culture VOICES – Maja Drabczyk
Open Culture
Welcome to episode 12 of Open Culture VOICES! VOICES is 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 episode, we’re joined by Maja Drabczyk, Head of Policy and Advocacy at Centrum Cyfrowe in Poland. Maja is a sociologist, researcher, manager of cultural projects in the field of heritage and new technologies. She is passionate about investigating and further strengthening the social value of cultural heritage institutions, and supporting both cultural and educational sectors in shaping their, user-focused, digital strategies.
Maja responds to the following questions:
- What are the main benefits of open GLAM?
- What are the barriers?
- Could you share something someone else told you that opened up your eyes and mind about open GLAM?
- Do you have a personal message to those hesitating to open up collections?
