I am Curator of World Art at the Royal Pavilion & Museums Trust (RPMT), Brighton. My role on this project is to provide access to the Botswana collection housed at RPMT, and to source and capture new collections knowledge provided by project partners and participants with Southern African heritage. I have undertaken a research trip to Botswana and worked with the staff at the Khama III Memorial museum to prepare for the loan, carry out research and conduct filmed interviews. I have recently finished working on ‘Fashioning Africa’ a post-colonial contemporary collecting project. Before joining RPMT I devised and managed the UNIQUES project to uncover under-researched ethnographic collections in five museums in the South East of England.
