MOOP Talk: Museum
The Museum of Ordinary People (MOOP) is a pop up museum that champions the magic and mundanity of everyday life. We celebrate the ripples people leave behind. We want to challenge existing paradigms and rewrite the history books.
The idea of MOOP Talks is to explore themes that resonate with us and what we do.
MOOP Talk: Museum was a way of exploring how museums are evolving, and how they are being challenged and disrupted. The idea was to foster discussion between existing spaces.
We were interested in the definition of a museum itself, emotional resonance, connection and representation, voices (who’s speaking, and who has a voice), the future, belonging and participation.
The speakers were:
• Richard Martin, curator of public programmes at The Tate - 00:00:00
• Edith Ojo, Freelance Arts Consultant and Tshepo Skwambane, Community Advocate and Facilitator - both speaking about co-creating the “Fashioning Africa” project at the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery - 00:19:38
• EJ Scott, founder and curator of the Museum of Transology - 00:44:55
We hope you enjoy! Our next talk, MOOP Talk: Action takes place in Brighton on October 1st - tickets here:
