Revekka Kefalea

Currently, I am a Postgraduate Student in Political Science & Sociology at the University of Athens. I hold a B.Sc. in Social Policy & Social Anthropology from Panteion University and a M.Sc. in Urban and Regional Planning from National Technical University of Athens. I am certified in cultural management & social entrepreneurship, and I follow the GLAM sector and its transformations closely, since my research interests focus on nationalism, material culture, cultural heritage, identity & memory politics. In the past, I have worked on research projects related to my studies, and familiarised myself with using open accessed digital archives & repositories. And gradually, apart from their scientific & educational value, I discovered the creative possibilities offered by the rights to reuse, modify & remix their content. Since then, I take initiatives and actively participate in various events aiming at the engagement of the public with the expansion & creative reuses of these digital commons. GLAM Hack is such an initiative.
