Ghostly Encounters
This interactive event involving exhibits, talks and readings, will explore the role of ghost stories in shaping our personal and collective memories and imaginations.
How do ghost stories and objects of the dead open up themes of belief, grief and wonder? How do you encounter ghosts? What is it like to be touched by ghosts?
In this interactive event that involves exhibits, talks and readings, you will be able to immerse yourself in spectral images and explore the role of ghost stories – real and fictional – in shaping our personal and collective memories and imaginations.
How can the ghosts that haunt the pages of literature and theatrical stages, and historical practices of communicating with lost loved ones shed light on past and present attitudes to processing some of our greatest fears?
Join us for a touch of the ghostly.
