Troubling Objects, a V&A Research Institute (VARI) symposium, will bring together academics, artists, activists and museum professionals to share ideas about how we can rethink both histories of collecting and the representation, interpretation and display of historical collections.

 

The emphasis will not solely be placed on objects and collections, but also on institutional practices themselves.

 

The symposium, which will take the form of a public conversation, will be structured so as to ensure discussion is open and inclusive. Each session will revolve around a particular question, with responses welcomed from both panellists and the audience.

 

Speakers will include: Priya Khanchandani, Aliyah Hasinah, Sean Curran, S. I. Martin, Jocelyn Dodd, Subhadra Das, Jane Wildgoose, Sushma Jansari, Sandra Shakespeare and VARI Visiting Professor, Elizabeth Edwards.

An evening wine reception will follow. Click here for more information and to book your ticket.
