Jessica Barrie, Curator

The naming and interpretation of historical items relating to slavery and colonialism and the representation of people of colour has been a particular focus for museums in recent years. Through a selection of items from the collections in our care, curator Jessica Barrie shares insights into the work being done by Aberdeen Archives, Gallery & Museums to ensure our shared arts and heritage is more inclusive and representative.
