March 2023: Retold Meeting at ASTRA Museum (RO)
Date
-
Co-organised by
The second meeting of the RETOLD project took take place in Sibiu, Romania. Most of the meeting was not open to outsiders. The project entered its third and semi-final year and we took stock of progress in developing our tools for documenting, digitising and sharing of the information and stories of our museums. During the meeting there was ample time to familarise ourselves with capturing digital data "in the wild" so to say: we had several workshops on how to document houses and everything around them. The museum in Sibiu was an excellent area for both the study meeting and the acquisition of data which we needed to experiment with over the summer 2023.
