Cabinets of Consequence: Octagon Salon #3

2 March 6.30-8pm

This salon to accompany the current Octagon exhibition Cabinets of Consequence (https://cabinetsofconsequence.org)  will explore how heritage and other related forms of conservation practices (including nuclear waste management) make futures.  How do we use material culture to stitch futures from pasts? What do we conserve? What do we get rid of? What do we allow to change? This Salon will be staged as a series of conversations across various themes currently being explored within the Heritage Futures research programme, a large, collaborative international research project led by Professor Rodney Harrison at the UCL Institute  of Archaeology.

The salon will host three sets of thematic conversations which highlight tensions that  relate both to the exhibition theme and to the various themes explored as part of the Heritage Futures research programme: Stasis – Transformation; Heritage – Waste; and Diversity – Clutter.

Event held at Haldane Room, Wilkins Building , Gower Street WC1
