Radical Museums
We’ve been exploring what radical practice and activism means for museums for a number of years. We know that museums can make a positive difference to people’s lives, and throughout this podcast series Sharon Heal and Simon Stephens from the Museums Association travel across the UK to talk to museum activists and those that are striving for and driving change.

William Mitchell
Sharon Heal visits Belfast to meet William Mitchell, the project director for the Action for Community Transformation (ACT) Initiative, which is dedicated to supporting former political prisoners and empowering those categorised as former combatants to support the reconstruction of their communities.
As part of its community transformation work, the initiative has an exhibition, a hands-on interactive narrative telling the story of conflict in Northern Ireland.
