Hi Dan Yes, Dan Hicks, Rachael Kiddey and team have recently returned from Calais https://www.rsc.ox.ac.uk/research/architectures-of-displacement Would love to have the opportunity to see this exhibition too! As you say, very evocative! Best Hilary From: Discussion List for Contemporary and Historical Archaeology [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Daniel Lee Sent: 11 January 2017 16:49 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Gideon Mendel exhibition visit and pub meet, London, 2 Feb Thanks James for the link to this incredibly powerful exhibition. Just a shame I won’t be able to see it in person. Does anyone know of any archaeologists working/having worked at the Calais Jungle camp, or what remains of it? It strikes me that contemporary archaeology could play a significant role in retelling these stories through such evocative material remains, and bearing witness to this crisis.

In advance of the pub, we encourage people to visit the exhibition Dzhangal at the Autograph ABP gallery in nearby Rivington Place, Gideon Mendel’s installation using objects gathered from the Calais ‘Jungle’. The exhibition is open until 9pm, but we will be there 1730-1830. Further details here: http://autograph-abp.co.uk/exhibitions/dzhangal Following that, we will be at The Owl and Pussycat from 1900. http://www.owlandpussycatshoreditch.com/ According to its website, the pub is ‘a proper old battlecruiser right in the heart of the New East End’ and promises ‘vintage leather sofas by a roaring fire’. Shoreditch High Street Overground station is closest, but it’s within walking distance of Liverpool Street and Old Street as well. PubCHAT exists to provide a friendly forum for discussion of contemporary/historical archaeology and welcomes all comers. Please contact me or Sefryn Penrose for any further information. Yours, James -------------------------- contemp-hist-arch is a list for news and events in contemporary and historical archaeology, and for announcements relating to the CHAT conference group. ------- For email subscription options see: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/archives/contemp-hist-arch.html ------- Visit the CHAT website for more information and for future meeting dates: http://www.contemp-hist-arch.ac.uk -------------------------- -------------------------- contemp-hist-arch is a list for news and events in contemporary and historical archaeology, and for announcements relating to the CHAT conference group. ------- For email subscription options see: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/archives/contemp-hist-arch.html ------- Visit the CHAT website for more information and for future meeting dates: http://www.contemp-hist-arch.ac.uk -------------------------- -------------------------- contemp-hist-arch is a list for news and events in contemporary and historical archaeology, and for announcements relating to the CHAT conference group. ------- For email subscription options see: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/archives/contemp-hist-arch.html ------- Visit the CHAT website for more information and for future meeting dates: http://www.contemp-hist-arch.ac.uk --------------------------
