Common Salt

At the heart of the University of Glasgow since 1807, The Hunterian connects people with stories, individuals and ideas found in stunning collections of objects, belongings and artworks.Today The Hunterian is a space for questioning and experimentation, for enjoyment and enrichment, for connection and collaboration and for reflecting on the role museums and individuals can play in furthering equity, justice and diversity in our society.We actively work to make The Hunterian a more relevant and meaningful place – for University students and staff, for Glaswegians, for Scots and for our global visitors.

Hunterian Museum

<h2>Monday 9 October 12pm (SOLD OUT) </h2><h2>Monday 9 October 3pm</h2><h2>Tuesday 10 October 12pm </h2><h2>Tuesday 10 October 3pm (SOLD OUT)</h2><h2>Common Salt is a performance around a table – a ‘show and tell’.</h2><h2>It explores the colonial, geographical history of England and India taking an expansive and emotional time-travel, from the first Enclosure Act and the start of the East India Company in the 1600s, to 21st century narratives of trade, empire and culture.</h2><h2>Sue and Sheila activate insights into our shared past, laying out a ‘home museum’ of objects and stories; of the Great Hedge of India, of borders, and collections – all accompanied by original Shruti box laments.</h2><h2>Common Salt is a reckoning; the interconnectedness between history and global power, artefact and trade, nature and memory is hidden in plain sight.</h2>
