Course Collaboration Sharing: HY5409 Museums and Museology

Community-led Tour: Flashes of Memory
Conceptualised by student interns Lex Lee (CHS, Year 3) and Zoe Zou (CHS, Year 3), Flashes of Memory approaches archival materials as contingent and subjective practices of remembrance. The tour considers how one may construe the afterlives of a collaboration, performance or exhibition, while exploring archival traces, impulses, and materials that surface within NUS Museum.
