About this event

Join us for an 'In Conversation' event at Collins Barracks where the Museum's Natural History collection is viewed through different lenses.

Keeper Paolo Viscardi and curator Dr Amy Geraghty are joined by visual artist Ishmael Claxton and interdisciplinary scholar Dr Verity Burke. The relaxed discussion will explore topics including decolonizing natural history collections, overlooked voices, and the role of the Museum’s past in shaping its present and future. As part of this event, Ishmael Claxton will share parts of his ongoing research project 'Dead Zoo in Blue'.

Spaces are free, however pre-booking is essential.

Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.
