So what was the announcement I had to make this week?

Well, in my dissertation I have been looking at how social media can help to increase engagement with Taxidermy within museums.

As an outcome I am going to be running a #TaxidermyWeek

Check out the thread for info:

[Reading Uni Arts @Rdg_uni_arts]

What image sums up the identity of Reading to you?

Is it somewhere on campus or in town? Is it the iconic number 17 bus? Or is it a person rather than an object or location?

#WhatIsPublicArt

[Reading Uni Arts @Rdg_uni_arts]

Its day one of our discussion about public art @UniofReading

Today we want you to submit photos of something you think could be classed as public art

Don't forget to use the hashtag -#WhatIsPublicArt
