Although I would argue this isn't necessarily a new tactic, the idea behind this was to use everyday objects to tell a wider story and thus engage people more with current debates and events across the globe.]]> 2019-01-10 12:55:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aeps1/8ua0ccvkxpm/wish/319197714 Contextualising aeps1 https://padlet.com/aeps1/8ua0ccvkxpm/wish/319202696 Taken from a lesson plan created for the National Museum of the American Indian.

It is made up of several strands, one of which is the ‘Stitch a Tree Project’. This part of the project invited the wider community to stitch individual trees in response to the refugee crisis, a way of bringing individuals together to create discourse and to show solidarity for displaced people and asylum seekers across the globe.

Whilst many of the trees have been sent in from sewing groups, schools and individuals from around the world, the project was also set up for a time in the Winchester Discovery Centre. Here stitchers could come and sit and sew, discuss what migration and displacement meant to them, and watch the larger piece of work unfold."

However, this wall was so overwhelmingly full I wanted to include it. I think it's important to ask the right sort of questions to engage with visitors and this one worked well as it was quite a personal question. A lot of the answers were 'mum' but then there were other examples of women (Michelle Obama, Ruth Bader-Ginsberg) that I think contributed to the discussion nicely. People can choose what level of engagement they want to give with a question like this.]]> 2019-01-24 14:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aeps1/8ua0ccvkxpm/wish/323927473 aeps1 https://padlet.com/aeps1/8ua0ccvkxpm/wish/323930383 Display taken at EPIC - The Irish Emigration Museum in Dublin.]]> 2019-01-24 14:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aeps1/8ua0ccvkxpm/wish/323930383 aeps1 https://padlet.com/aeps1/8ua0ccvkxpm/wish/323936233 Photograph taken from display at Derby Museum that includes the origins of the pieces on display (traded, gifted, found, looted, stolen).]]> 2019-01-24 14:51:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aeps1/8ua0ccvkxpm/wish/323936233 aeps1 https://padlet.com/aeps1/8ua0ccvkxpm/wish/323941099 In the gallery marked 'Connection' at EPIC - The Irish Emigration Museum in Dublin there is a projector that projects a feed from Twitter using the hashtag #epicmuseum]]> 2019-01-24 14:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aeps1/8ua0ccvkxpm/wish/323941099 TED Talk - 'Decolonising' the museum aeps1 https://padlet.com/aeps1/8ua0ccvkxpm/wish/333741996 An interesting TED Talk about the importance of museum decolonisation.]]> 2019-02-21 17:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/aeps1/8ua0ccvkxpm/wish/333741996 The Museum of British Colonialism aeps1 https://padlet.com/aeps1/8ua0ccvkxpm/wish/334272710 2019-02-22 18:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/aeps1/8ua0ccvkxpm/wish/334272710
