14 December 2022 – RE Museum – Making African Connections

Wednesday the 14th of December The Royal Engineers Museum

Making African Connections – reviewing the Sudanese collection of the Royal Engineers Museum.

Making African Connections was a partnership project, led by the University of Sussex and funded by the Arts Heritage Research Council from 2017 – 2022. Its aim was to further both conceptual and applied debates over ‘decolonizing’ public institutions and considered the differing approaches to ethnographic collections held in three regional museums in the South East, each with internationally significant collections. The presentation will explore the RE Museum’s experiences of the project, working with experts from the UK and Sudan as well as the Sudanese diaspora. It will look at immediate impact the project has had on the material in the Museum’ care and its approach to similar projects in the future.

The event video will only be available to Members shortly.
