DESCRIPTION:Please note that this event will take place at the Rendall Buil ding\, University of Liverpool\, L69 7WW\n\nBOOK HERE\n\nThe redevelopment of International Slavery Museum\, as part of the Waterfront Transformatio n Project\, saw International Slavery Museum's curatorial team expand to e ight members. This has brought together a variety of expertise\, perspecti ves and relationships to racial slavery\, its history and its legacies.\n\ nTogether we have been grappling with many questions: what does slavery me an to us? Who should be a curator of slavery? Who are our audiences? What are the 'things' of racial slavery that we might display and what stories can they tell? How do we represent themes of violence and race that have s haped this history\, but also continue to shape present realities? How do we fulfil our responsibilities as curators to care for objects\, when thos e objects were created to do violence and dehumanise enslaved people and t heir descendants?\n\nJoin us\, either online or in-person\, for a roundtab le discussion between International Slavery Museum curators Miles Greenwoo d\, Makiya Davis-Bramble\, Alexander Scott\, Adiva Lawrence and Josh Jones \, guest participant Jean-François Manicom\, and you\, the audience\, as we collectively respond to our first call: how do we curate slavery?\n\nBO OK HERE\n\nNote for online registrations: The link to join this workshop o nline will be sent via email the week of the event so please ensure your e nter your email correctly without any typos.\n\nGuest - Jean-François Man icom\n\nJean-François Manicom is the Senior Curator of the Museum of Lond on Docklands (London - UK).

He is an internationally prized photographe r and film director\, whose work questions the universal enigmas of our no wadays\, in a world where multiple and fragmented pasts challenge our powe r to imagine new possible futures.\n\n\n\nThe series will be organised aro und key questions - “calls” - that underpin the curation of Internatio nal Slavery Museum. Attendees will engage with the history and legacies of racial slavery as it relates to the Call of the event\, and they will be invited to "respond" in a variety of ways should they wish to.\n\nThis wor kshop is part of International Slavery Museum's public programme.\n\nUpcom ing events (tickets available soon):\n\nHow do we represent the violence o f maritime history? | Saturday 24th January 2026\, 11am - 3pm\nHow do we r emember slavery through movement? | Thursday 23rd April 2026\, 5pm - 8pm\ nHow has slavery harmed the climate? | Thursday 9th July 2026\, times TBC ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2025/10/international-slavery-museum-workshops.jpg CATEGORIES:Workshops END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250330T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
