The Our History in 100 Objects project began in the summer and autumn of 2013, where members of the public nominated objects to Sheffield Visual Arts Group (S.V.A.G.), that they felt reflected the city’s artistic and cultural heritage. Museums Sheffield have now opened up their stores to small groups from ‘hard to reach’ and interested communities. The groups selected objects for this exhibition in Weston Park Museum, which will represent a new history of Sheffield told through objects, curated by the public. More information on Weston Park museum, including opening times, can be found here.

Research Seminar: Indigenous London: Native Travellers at the Heart of Empire
1st April 4.15pm: Coll Thrush, University of British Columbia. Chair: Caroline Pennock
Urban and Indigenous histories have usually been treated as though they are mutually exclusive. Coll Thrush’s work, however, has argued that the two kinds of history are in fact mutually constitutive. In this presentation, Dr. Thrush will present material from his current book project, a history of London framed through the experiences of Indigenous people who travelled there, willingly or otherwise, from territories that became the US, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Stories of Inuit captives in the 1570s, Cherokee delegations in the 1760s, Hawaiian royals in the 1820s, and more – as well as the memory of these travellers in present-day communities – show the ways in which London is the ground of Indigenous history and settler colonialism.
