Museum Partnerships
'Religious Tolerance: Gujarat Riots' by Montu Chitrakar 2007
This project is a three year partnership (2006-09) with the Earth and Grass Workshop, an Indian organisation dedicated to the promotion and development of India arts and crafts. The organisation will act to identify and commission work by contemporary craftmakers in consultation with the Ethnology team at National Museums Liverpool.
The partnership will enable us to tackle the gap between historical collections at National Museums Liverpool and contemporary India and will generate public and learning events at World Museum.
World Museum will be one of the host institutions for a series of residencies involving international craft specialists from Pakistan and the UK over a period of three years (2008-11). The HAT or ( Here and There) Project offers museums the opportunity to engage with international makers, to explore new ways of interpreting and representing collections as well as develop links with different communities. Other participating venues in the United Kingdom ar the V&A Museum of Childhood and Manchester City Galleries.
