PS: 16 September is of course next Tuesday, not Thursday - we've already told the organisers! But everything else, including the timing (4-5pm BST) is right
My talk also featured some of the research I conducted last year @royalsociety.org in London as a Lisa Jardine grantee - stay tuned for an upcoming publication on it!
I've been working on a"new" project on the #waterhistory of colonial Suriname for over a year now 💧 This week, I've finally made it to Paramaribo: wonderful to visit Fort Zeelandia (pic) and the Nationaal Archief 🤓 Today, I present at the Universiteit van Suriname: excited to meet the real experts!
Tune in to @forarthistory.org.uk's Festival next week to discuss "Art & Extraction in the Pre-Modern Period" with Cara Wolahan, Lorenzo Gatta, Thomas Balfe, and yours truly - we'll be talking about mining, woodcutting, pearls, and of course water đź’§
