Dr Kate Holmes – Research Support Librarian

“I’m fascinated by what it means to experience the world through our bodies. Whether that is researching circus or curating exhibitions that play with relationships between physical and virtual worlds. I facilitated the first exhibition of Uncertain Space virtual museum, working with a group of young Bristolians, archivists and technologists.”
