Fantasy Legal Exhibitions- Newcastle

Activity: Participating in or organising an eventOrganising a conference, workshop, ...

Description

Exhibitions range widely in form, from spontaneous pop-up to enduring archive, material to digital, and localised to roving. They vary in purpose- from documentation to deconstruction, resolution to disruption, inclusion to resistance, and query to explanation. They can include artefacts as varied as objects, records, images, sounds, statutes, and specimens.

This two-day hands-on workshop is an opportunity to explore exhibition as a legal research practice, and to consider what might you achieve, for scholarship and the wider world, through the practice of exhibition that cannot be achieved through other research activities?
By engaging with different venues and completing a series of structured tasks in a range of exhibition contexts, you will be prompted and facilitated to consider exhibition as part of the wider social, political, economic and cultural context of collection and curation; how you might ‘exhibit’ your legal research; and how in so doing you might enhance the quality of your research, as well as its potential impact, within academia and beyond.
