Hannah Fox

Hannah Fox led a ground-breaking project with Derby Museums to develop a new way forwards for Derby Silk Mill – the site of the world’s first factory. Citizen curators and makers are at the heart of the vision for the new Museum of Making – getting hands on, learning new skills and sharing skills with others to expand perspectives of what a museum is and can be. “We’re taking the co-productions, human-centred ethos and apply it to a major capital development project; maintaining both integrity to the approach that has given it its stand-out nature, but also deliverability against the resources and stakeholder expectations.” This methodology has received national and international acclaim – featuring in publications including Nina Simon’s latest book The Art of Relevance.
