I help cultural institutions with interpretation and strategic planning.

Implementing your ambitions just got easier.

My Services

  • Create a framework and guiding principles to keep museums and exhibitions accountable. We create manageable checkpoints to ensure colonial content is being redressed and relevant cultural perspectives are at the forefront.

  • We use storytelling as a guide throughout the exhibition development process to ensure the message is not diluted, everything relates back the the Big Idea and the entire experience will be memorable for your visitors.

  • Use tried and true principles of interpretation to create relatable, revealing and engage content will leave a lasting message on your audiences.

  • Ask the right questions that get to the heart of how visitors feel and what stakeholders want to know. Mix qualitative and quantitative methods to gain a full picture of your visitors' experiences.

  • Getting the right guidance to a new problem can be the beginning of something. Facilitation of stakeholder groups is a key part of the process.

It all starts with asking the right questions

About Evelyn Dodds

Decolonisation practices are second nature to me thanks to studying museology, repatriation policy and exhibition interpretation and beginning my career in Canada. My 4 years in-house at museums and 2 years of user experience research have given me a unique combination of skills from collections management, digitisation, exhibition research, community engagement, interpretive planning, exhibition script writing and measuring audience engagement.
