The Cultural Value of Conservation

Working with the Textile Conservation Centre at Southampton University, we are working to raise awareness of this pressing agenda, and stimulate deeper thought about the role of conservation amongst policymakers, cultural professionals and within the sector itself.

Social Capital and the Material World

Last week, I spoke at a summit on Conservation Education convened by the Textile Conservation Centre.  I presented the interim thinking from our project, Saved for the Nation.

I've put the speech and the presentation I gave on the website.  They outline one of the ideas we are developing in the project, which is about the symbolism of caring for the material world, and what it means in relation to wider agenda, from identity and communities, to building cultural literacy.
