Over the next three years we intend to change how the collection is displayed, how the collection is interpreted, whose voices are heard, which truths are represented, the way the property feels, and the internal culture which supports this.2019 will be a year of listening internally and externally with our property staff and volunteers but also with our community and supporters.
Year of Listening
We would like to spend the next year as a project and property team in the ‘Year of listening’ to get a greater understanding of the history of Colonialism, better knowledge of the collection and to start to explore the conversations which may occur around the subject.
There are four strands to this year – an Internal Cultural programme, Community Engagement, Pilot Interpretation and Visitor Evaluation and Understanding non-visitor needs. We are seeking individuals, partnerships or organisations who can respond to different parts of the brief, or in some cases more than one part.
Please read the brief to find out more .
