S03E05: International Friends

We’re joined by Barbadian conservator Nerys Rudder and talk about international studenthood, working in a warm climate, and post-colonial heritage identity. Listen to eight voices from across the world: conservators from Spain, America, Egypt, Germany, Taiwan, Norway, Australia, and the Netherlands answer our questions! Our agony aunt Jane tackles a topical question about studying in the UK and how those qualifications can work for you abroad. Also tune in for an interview with Rosie Cook about working across Asia, and a review of ‘Treasures in Trusted Hands.’ 00:00:31 News in brief 00:05:51 Nerys’ journey from art to science 00:09:28 Being the only conservator in Barbados 00:14:22 Working in a different climate 00:22:02 Research, collaboration, and networking 00:31:36 Interview with Rosie Cook 00:46:45 Julia from Spain 00:48:40 Pia from Norway 00:54:27 Abbie from the Netherlands 00:56:14 Sophie from Germany 01:00:07 Abdel from Egypt 01:08:02 Fletcher from America 01:09:31 Erina from Australia 01:19:05 Chi Chun from Taiwan 01:21:02 Review: Treasures in Trusted Hands - Negotiating the Future of Colonial Cultural Objects 01:23:45 Dear Jane Show Notes: - China Design Museum launches first exhibitions in Hangzhou: http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-04/08/c_137095996.htm - France to help build a 'new Petra' in Saudi Arabia with estimated $20bn development deal: https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/france-to-help-build-a-new-petra-in-saudi-arabia-with-estimated-usd20bn-development-deal - People Want To Know Why Brooklyn Museum's New African Art Curator Is White: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/brooklyn-museum-white-curator-african-art_us_5abc09e6e4b06409775cd2d7 - Should a Museum Dump its Warhols to Buy Up Work by Artists of Colour? https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2018/may/04/baltimore-museum-art-warhol-artists-of-colour - National Archives in St Kitts: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.kn/ - The Blue Road: http://www.theblueroad.com/home - Treasures in Trusted Hands: https://www.sidestone.com/books/treasures-in-trusted-hands or https://amzn.to/2KVuJLc Support us on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/thecword Hosted by Jenny Mathiasson, Kloe Rumsey and Nerys Rudder.
