Talk exploring how animals care for eachother in the wild, using the museum's collections to reveal hidden stories...
2 - 3pm
How do animals care for each other in the wild?
What does community mean in the animal kingdom? And how do we know?
Join Natural History Curator Rachel Jennings, as she explores our understanding of animal behaviour, compassion, and connection – drawing on the Museum's Natural History collections to reveal the stories of animals and their relationships with each other.
This June, the Powell-Cotton Museum is inviting the community to become part of their Centenary story.
Over the coming month, the curators and experts will uncover fascinating stories from the Museum's extensive material culture, Natural History and archive collections, alongside lesser-known stories from life at Quex House and Gardens.
Through a special series of talks, you can hear directly from the people who care for these collections, and discover the unexpected stories hidden within everyday objects, archives, gardens and more.
All talks are included with standard admission. No booking required, simply drop in at the scheduled times.
An Arts Council England grant has enabled the series of talks, community outreach, and a series of hands-on creative workshops throughout the summer.
From Adinkra Printing to Poetry Writing, these sessions offer the chance to respond creatively to discoveries made within the Museum's collections.
The work will then form part of a special community exhibition opening in October.
Full details and dates to be announced soon.
