Listening to lastest @TheWonderHouse podcast with @SushmaJansari and @GawadHeba - https://thewonderhouse.co.uk/heba-abd-el-gawad I have now added this link to her entry on @HistofArchatIoA "Historians of Archaeology" series https://historyofarchaeologyioa.weebly.com/historians-of-archaeology/heba-abd-el-gawad

In this episode @GawadHeba makes a great case for the benefits of moving archaeological exhibitions outside museums, therefore freeing up creative potential working outside institutional structures & ethical museum gift shops.

Really enjoying hearing the story behind the Listen to Her! Exhibition @PetrieMuseEgypt (2018). @GawadHeba reflects on Western fascination with Nefertiti & Hatshepsut, who are mapped onto modern Egyptian women like Heba, to the exclusion of stories of ordinary Egyptian women.

I really wish there was a digital version of Listen to Her! @PetrieMuseEgypt @Beket_Aten @GawadHeba

Great point in this discussion between @SushmaJansari & @GawadHeba about the impermanence of exhibitions, and getting the labels from exhibitions into the museum database as a way of archiving them.

In talking about the Shtub project @GawadHeba worked on @britishmuseum, Heba mentions a Big difference between curricula in Britain & Egypt - in Britain, kids learn about ancient but not modern Egypt; in Egypt kids learn about modern but not ancient Egypt.
