‘Hidden Histories, Untold Stories’ these interventions in the Ethnology/ World Stories Gallery address the museums collection and the missing stories of objects in the collection, focussing on the Native American artefacts and retelling the story of what happened to Native American people when European settlers arrived on the American continent. The figures relate to the story of the displacement and genocide of Native American people. Their presence triggers links to the displacement of people elsewhere, both historically and contemporarily by colonial and imperial forces. The paper money and map boats reference connections to travel, trade, mapping, migration, and social histories. The bronze ‘Horse’ and ‘ Push-Me-Pull-You’s’ relate to ancient times and cultures that exist in my imagination.

‘Hidden Histories, Untold Stories’ exhibition with Pueblo Pottery Figure, ‘God of Rain’ from North America and model birch bark canoes made by Native Americans placed in front of boat painting. These objects were moved from the Ethnology Gallery, where I places artworks including paper money boats, which are next to Native American money beads and copper currency. Thank you Warrington Museum for giving me the opportunity to reframe the collection by interweaving my work and collection objects with the intention of introducing new dialogues and stories.
