This 40 minute presentation was part of an 'Exploring exhibition making as research practice', hosted by the Exhibition Research Lab, at Liverpool John Moores School of Art and Design (12.11.24). The session was aimed at Exhibition Studies MA students, level 5 History of Art and Museum Studies students. It was open also to LJMU staff members who were participating in exhibition making as part of their research practice.

I had been asked to expand on my enduring research question: ‘What new knowledge can curatorial methodology and exhibition-making as a research tool bring to understanding the overlooked practices of 20th Century women photographers in Scotland?’ I drew on three exhibitions that I had curated: 'Franki Raffles: Observing Women at Work' (Reid Gallery, GSA, 2017); 'Glean: Early 20th Century Women Filmmakers and Photographers in Scotland' (City Art Centre, Edinburgh 2022/23); and Sandra George (5 Florence Street, as part of Glasgow International, 2024).
