About this event
To mark our 70th year, The MERL are working with people to explore and respond to 51 objects from or collected in 1951 - relating them to priorities and passions of the past, present and future.
Throughout 2021, 51 Voices are being mapped to 51 collections items, enabling reflection on mid-century ideas, preoccupations, and creativity but with contemporary perspectives. By working with different ‘Voices’, including from outside the museum and heritage sector, these items will be reimagined with surprising, and perhaps challenging responses.

Supported by the University of Reading Arts Committee, and working with colleagues in English, 51 Voices – Spoken Word is a connected event with poetry and spoken word participatory workshops and activities on National Poetry Day using these collections items as the starting point for inspiring writing.
Admission free. Booking essential.
