I’m so excited to meet with members of the public tomorrow to talk about the Ashmolean’s Minoan Octopus Jar (and all things memory, skill, and museum practices)! I’ve had so much fun preparing over the past few months and I can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on!

I’m so happy to be a part of this project and I can’t wait for my session (16th June) where we will be thinking about remembering and reimagining the past, storing memories, and the role of materials in learning (and getting stuck into to some pottery ourselves!) 🏺🐙

Such an interesting thought! Especially when you consider the current context where we spend a lot of our time staring at our own image on zoom…as discussed in this piece by @donatelladr

Captivated by the artist's painted dream-self: angelic expression, big eyes, luminous skin. Can't help wondering, painted as such, staring at such loving, forgiving self-images, was it easier for people back then to be more lenient with themselves as opposed to our digital shots?

Admiring these close-ups of Marie-Gabrielle Capet’s lively self-portrait from 1783. For details of Capet’s remarkable but “forgotten” artistic career, see artinsociety.com/forgotten-wome…. Photo: closeupofpaintings.tumblr.com/post/131891142…
