EP Culture Conversations - Collecting Stories


Join us on Thursday 22nd May from 6-7:30pm in our Gallery for a panel conversation on collecting practices.
 
As part of our current exhibition, Story: Selected Works from Edinburgh Printmakers' Collectionwe will be joined in conversation by three collection managers, Anna Hawkins, Andrew James and Kelly McMeekin, to reflect on how they use storytelling to bolster the objects in their collections. We'll discuss how oral histories, letters, archival documents, lore and curatorial research create context and a clearer picture of their artefacts. We’ll also find out about rare gems and surprises within each collection and consider the challenges in collecting and caring for Intangible Heritage.
 
 
This panel conversation is a hybrid event for people to attend in person or online. The talk will start at 6pm in the Edinburgh Printmakers Gallery. There will be time at the end of the talk for Q&A from the audience. 
The zoom link will be shared with attendees who select the online ticket via email the day before the talk.
 
 
Moderators: Meg Dolan and Kristina Royer, EP Collection Development Managers
 
Panelists:
  • Anna Hawkins, Museum Collections Manager, University of Edinburgh
  • Andrew James, Learning Manager, SCRAN Collection, Historic Environment Scotland
  • Kelly McMeekin, Manager of Museum & Heritage, Museum of Scottish Fire Heritage
