*apologies for cross-posting* October 4, 2019 Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF) announces 2019 Fall Professional Development Grant Recipient The Board of Directors of the Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF) is pleased to present the Fall 2019 VRAF Professional Development Grant in the amount of $1000 to MalkiaOkech, Augmented Reality Developer for the Penn & Slavery Project, Penn Libraries Digital Scholarship, UPENN, Philadelphia, PA. Malkia Okech, plans on utilizing the funds to participate and develop her skills with a 4 day workshop with African Digital Heritage in Nairobi and Kisumu, Kenya, Africa.She will be assisting in the planning, presenting and collaborating on a workshop, "CreatingInteractive Digital Assets", which is part of a Skills4Culture series, with the goal of training museumprofessionals and general cultural heritage practitioners in Nairobi and Kisumu, Kenya. The goal of the program is to situate digitization efforts within contemporary museum practice in Kenya, and train attendees in 3D digitization of artifacts, guidingthem through a workflow that they can replicate within their respective institutions. Okech recently worked on a digital exhibition MemoryKeepers. After her return from Kenya and before the exhibition closes in March, she hopes to develop a workshop, as similar to CreatingInteractive Digital Assets, around digital visualization as a memory preserving method. The VRAF Professional Development Grant Program reflects the broad mission of the VRAF to support professional development in the field of visual resources and cultural heritage informationmanagement. The grant can be used to participate in a professional development opportunity of the grantee’s choosing (such as a conference, symposium, workshop, online education), or to enroll in relevant research activities (such as hands-on field work ora site visit for scholarly purposes).
