Seeing Truth in Museums: The Exhibition

A couple of years ago, on opposite sides of the world and unbeknown to one another, British artist and art historian **Dr Jane Wildgoose** and Tasmanian Aboriginal artist **Janice Ross** began focusing their researches on some artefacts that originated in Tasmania during the nineteenth century, which are now in a collection in the UK. The Seeing Truth in Museums exhibition showcases Ross's and Wildgoose's resulting work, “in conversation”: as they reveal a history of stolen children, racial science, and misappropriated artefacts, and reflect on the intergenerational trauma that remains an enduring legacy of the collecting practices of the British colonial era.

*This exhibition is open at Conway Hall between **Saturday 25 January and Sunday 2 February**, every day between **11am - 7pm**.*

This project is developed by Jane Wildgoose in association with Artquest and Conway Hall, at the invitation of the University of Connecticut; it is a new iteration of UConn's Future of Truth / Seeing Truth project funded by the Luce Foundation, with additional support from the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art.

Presented by Conway Hall.

This is an all ages event. Under 16's must be accompanied by an adult.
