Open Culture VOICES is a series of short interviews with open GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) experts from around the world. The Open Culture Program at Creative Commons aims to promote better sharing of cultural heritage in GLAMs collections. With Open Culture VOICES, we’re thrilled to bring you various perspectives from dozens of experts speaking in many different languages on what it’s like to open up heritage content online. In this episode, Giovanna Fontenelle joins us — she is a Journalist, Historian, Wikimedian, and Master’s student in Social History at the University of São Paulo. Giovanna works as a Program Officer, GLAM and Culture, at the Wikimedia Foundation. She’s also a member of Creative Commons Brasil (CCBR), Creative Commons Global Network, Wiki Movimento Brasil User Group, and ICOM Brazil. At CCBR, she coordinates the areas of Open GLAM and Wikimedia. Her current work activities are related to GLAM-Wiki, Open GLAM, linked open data, in addition to carrying out projects on diversity and knowledge equity.

We asked all our guests the same questions:
1️⃣  What are the main benefits of open GLAM?
2️⃣  What are the barriers?
3️⃣. Could you share something someone else told you that opened up your eyes and mind about open GLAM?
4️⃣. Do you have a personal message to those hesitating to open up collections?
