A Material World | Living work: recovering unrecorded histories through ordinary objects
Go behind the scenes of the recent exhibition Untold Lives: A Palace at Work held at Kensington Palace between March and October this year, with one of the curators, Dr Mishka Sinha.
Dr Sinha discusses the methodology behind curating an exhibition that portrays incomplete histories of working lives through historical objects and images, contemporary reimagining, and acknowledged gaps and spaces.
This event is part of the series A Material World: Work v. Play, which brings together academics and heritage professionals from a wide range of disciplines to discuss issues concerning historical objects, their materials, forms, and functions, as well as their conservation, presentation, display, and reconstruction.
This talk took place on 26 November 2024.
