This Black History Month, International Slavery Museum launches a year-long series of workshops set around themes of transatlantic slavery and its legacies.
The free sessions follow a model of ‘call and response’ to create dynamic and open dialogue. The conversation this inspires will be instrumental in creating a new museum that is relevant to its audiences and effectively represents truth, trauma, and collective memory.
The first call – How do we curate slavery? – which sets the foundation for the rest of the series, will consider the ongoing questions the museum’s multi-disciplinary curatorial team are grappling with while developing new displays. Jean-Francois Manicom, Senior Curator at London Museum Docklands, will be the first guest speaker.
Attendees can answer the call either in person, at 5.30-7.30pm, on 23 October 2025, at University of Liverpool (Rendall Building, Lecture Theatre 8), or online.
