‘Come and explore the many stories from the Petrie Museum’s collection with artist Laura Durward. Together we can sculpt the past, as we unlearn the museum’s existing narratives.

Participants will be led through a series of writing and making exercises where they will unpack this incredible collection all the while questioning the agency of museums and the bodies that occupy them.’

Laura Durward (Professional Development Award, Goldsmiths University’s Design Department) employs layered storytelling, wordplay and montage to explore the complicated and often flawed dance between our imagination and reality.

Bodies of Knowledge (supported by Artisa) follows on from Laura Durward’s Ba Design project Function Unknown which was installed as a museum handling collection at The Old Truman Brewery last year.
