Connecting with Collections: Whose Stories are the Most Important to Tell? takes place at Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield. The talk explores ideas regarding memory, storytelling, history and influence. Tickets are priced at £0.00.
Join us at Kelham Island Museum to explore big ideas such as memory, storytelling, history and influence.
We’ll use the current exhibitions to stimulate new thinking for an informal but in-depth conversation, exploring the question: how do we decide whose stories are the most important to tell?
As part of a group, you’ll explore Sheffield Museum’s collections and consider how they resonate today. This is philosophical enquiry – collaborative thinking, talking and listening to build our understanding. Enjoy exploring ideas with others in a setting steeped in history.
All are welcome, no experience necessary.
"Really interesting to share thoughts and ideas with others like this. The facilitator also did a really good job of running the group and ensuring that everyone got their say. I really had no idea what to expect – but would very happily come to another of these." - previous attendee
Please donate if you're able and help keep your museums open and available for everyone to enjoy.
Suggested donation £5 – when you select your tickets, please scroll down and select ‘General Admission + Donation’.
