Alice Watterson is an archaeologist and digital artist whose practice-based research explores the use of visualisation for public engagement and outreach. Her interdisciplinary background facilitates this work by allowing her to fluently negotiate the space between the specialist insights of archaeologists and general audiences. Her current research focusses on community co-design, working with and for communities in the Arctic, with a particular emphasis on digital collections, visualisation and online dissemination.

Local voices can play an important role in the interpretation and communication of museum collections, especially in the Arctic where Indigenous knowledge brings invaluable perspectives to our shared understanding of the past. This talk by Alice Watterson discusses case studies from digital outreach projects in Nunavut, Alaska and Greenland.
