Last week, I spoke at a summit on Conservation Education convened by the
Textile Conservation Centre. I presented the interim thinking from our project,
Saved for the Nation.
I've put the
speech and the
presentation I gave on the website. They outline one of the ideas we are developing in the project, which is about the symbolism of caring for the material world, and what it means in relation to wider agenda, from identity and communities, to building cultural literacy.
