Visit with Workshop
At the Museum, lighting is the biggest challenge to capturing good images. Photos and videos need to be edited to make them ‘instagrammable’. Communication on social media is essential for transmitting heritage, allowing stories to be shared in an accessible way. In stories, share your favourite piece and a historical curiosity, applying filters that enhance the image without losing authenticity. Let's explore the relationship between algorithms, ethics and visual communication in the context of heritage.

Skills developed:

Ethics in communication - How to share historical content responsibly and authentically.
Digital communication - Effective use of social networks to transmit knowledge.
Technical and creative skills - Editing images to create informative and visual content.
