Really enjoyed hearing from speakers at the @CuratingMagic webinar today. A lot of the talks really resonated with the work I did for my masters degree - it was so interesting to hear of all kinds of wonderful research, art and exhibitions around a topic close to my heart.
Thank you to everyone who attended Curating Magic 2022! We had a wonderful time and are very grateful to our amazing speakers. Hope everyone has a great weekend, from Tor, Helen and Emma x
The final section of the conference featured and exploration of magic and queerness, by Alexander D'Agostino with 'The Fairy King's Grimoire', followed by Oksana Gryshchenko's talk 'Curatorial practice as a form of modern-day spellcasting' 💫
Some charms from Alexander D'Agostino's 'The Fairy King’s Grimoire: How to make a spellbook' for @CuratingMagic (@FolgerLibrary)
Marisa Karyl Franz is currently presenting her paper 'Domestic Dioramas of Magic'✨ considering how magical rituals might be translated to the museum space.
We just heard from Anna Milon and Claire Slack, with their paper 'Curating Spiritual Landscapes' - incredible insight into the way we interact with sites of spirituality out-with the museum space. 💫
Shareed Mohammed is now sharing his brilliant research 'The Magical Logic of Voodoo Aesthetics'.
Currently listening to Dr Gillian McIver and Hanya ElGhamry discuss their fascinating exhibition, which focused on themes of Alchemy 💫 alchemy.artsite.org.uk
