Conferences typically showcase successful projects, big ideas and new initiatives. But what if we could more openly talk about failure, to understand how we can learn from things it for a more innovative and diverse future for libraries? This presentation is by the Principal Investigator of the AHRC-funded FailSpace project to explore how the cultural sector can better recognise, acknowledge and learn from failure, particularly when undertaking work intended to diversify and grow the people who are taking part in cultural activities.
