ASAHH network reflections: African collections in Scotland Dr John Giblin, Keeper of Global Arts, Culture and Design, National Museums Scotland
Join the Africa-Scotland Art, History, Heritage Network for a special event to hear from Dr John Giblin, who will soon depart his post as Keeper of Global Arts, Culture and Design at National Museums Scotland (NMS) to become Director of Collections and Research at Amgueddfa Cymru.
John will share thoughts on his time at NMS, with a specific focus on the critical work he has undertaken with African collections across Scotland. Regarding the latter, John has been the Project Director for Reveal and Connect: Review of African and Caribbean Collections in Scotland, a collaborative project with the University of Glasgow, University of Aberdeen, Glasgow Museums and 38 partner museums across Scotland.
This will be a special opportunity to hear from John about the work he has done in Scotland, and what he hopes will be the ongoing work developing from it. It will also be a special occasion for our network to bid him farewell!
