Taking inspiration from Mike Nelson's Tate Britain Commission The Asset Strippers, learn more about the cultural significance of material change. The workshop will echo the themes of Nelson’s practice by using objects from the past to try and better understand the future. The session will be led by Caitlin Desilvey, Professor of Cultural Geography at the University of Exeter, exploring the different ways materials produce memories.
