Engaging through Collections
This workshop will give you the tools to communicate the stories of your research through objects, in collaboration with galleries, libraries, archives and museums. Interactive exercises will suggest ways to unlock material literacy using close looking, creative responses, and display-making. Participants will also learn the practical essentials of object handling and how to navigate collections with confidence.
