With Dr Marenka Thompson-Odlum, Research Curator (Critical Perspectives)

Dr Thompson-Odlum is lead researcher on the Labelling Matters project, investigating the problematic use of language within the museum displays and thinking through ways of decolonisation through re-imagining the definition of a label. She is also commissioning new objects for the museum's collections, building new relationships with indigenous communities and enhancing the displays.

This talk will be a unique opportunity to hear about Dr Thompson-Odlum's work and see items she is currently working on.
