Dear List Members
The Design History Society and the programme in Art History and Visual Culture at the University of Exeter are delighted to invite you to attend the day symposium Migrating Culture: Global Curation between Past and Present, taking place at the Royal Albert Memorial Art Museum in Exeter (RAMM Gallery 20) on Friday, 2nd March from 1-5pm.
How can the curation of migrant cultures be a more dynamic and inclusive practice? What happens when objects are (re)moved from their cultural communities, or when communities move without cultural objects? How do historical practices of collecting, production and display inform the exhibition of contemporary visual culture, and how can our engagement with the contemporary illuminate our understanding of the historical? In addressing these and other questions surrounding the intersection of global cultures of craft, design, curation and migration, this international day symposium will facilitate discussion between academics, creative practitioners and museum professionals based in Exeter and beyond. The event is being supported generously by the programme in Art History and Visual Culture at the University of Exeter, RAMM and the Design History Society.
Speakers include:
Tony Eccles, Curator of Ethnography, RAMM
Wessie Ling, Reader in Fashion Practice, Northumbria University
Sabrina Rahman, Lecturer in Art History and Visual Culture, University of Exeter
Nicola Stylianou, Curator and Researcher, London
Christina Zetterlund, Associate Professor of Design Theory, Linnaeus University
