Two big mending things upcoming. Am excited! Next week (Jan 25–26) I'm speaking in London at the British Museum symposium "Mending and Making"-- a two-day workshop on the role of mending in material histories, led by the Endangered Material Knowledge Programme. My theme? A Wunderkammer of Mends. I sort of made it up on the fly, and now am having to make sense of it. And it does, it makes sense! I fear the tickets are sold out, but maybe they're recording it, not sure. Two of my great heroes, Drs Bridget Harvey and Stephanie Bunn (see below) are giving the keynotes.
Hi Kate – great to hear you speak at EMKP, was wondering if there is a way #MendMarch and Mending the Tears could combine as we loosely touched on this week. Very exciting if it could!
