SPEAKERS
Dr Moya McFadzean is responsible for developing the museum's migration and diversity-related collections and exhibitions which includes featuring some historical football-related items.
Moya is part of the team that developed the Home is Football exhibition and has loved immersing in the histories and stories of the round ball (instead of her usual obsession with the pointy ball) game!
Amber Evangelista is an experience developer in the exhibitions department at Museums Victoria, from Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa. She brings her diverse lived experience and cultural heritage to her work crafting exhibitions and experiences for our audiences.
As part of the team who produced the Home is Football exhibition, she worked closely with the exhibition participants, senior curator and team of designers to create a moving insight into the many communities of football.
