项目摘要

This project develops an innovative new approach-participatory arts-based object biography-to address (mis)understandings of the forced migration of people and ancient objects to the UK. Combining archival research on objects from their regions of origin, and the production of PAB object biographies that draw on their own experiences of forced migration, youth CSs from refugee backgrounds will utilise affective, embodied and sensuous modes of knowledge production to generate and share new perspectives on UK museum collections.As a direct consequence of colonial occupation, ancient historical objects from Africa and Asia fill UK museums, but the specifics of how they entered collections is often poorly recorded. These objects are typically presented as static representations of past civilisations, interpreted almost exclusively by white, western scholars. This situation obscures the complex nature of their biographies, which tell important stories about transnational histories of migration and empire. Conversely, refugee-background young people in the UK are defined by their movement, their refugee backgrounds impeding their political, social, economic and cultural inclusion. The circumstances leading to their forced migration are positioned beyond the UK, denying the legacies of empire and contemporary neo-colonialism. Both these young people and ancient historical objects are in need of new narratives. This project will place them in dialogue, within transnational histories of (neo)colonial entanglement, to produce unique insights into the forced migration of each.Object biography recognises that objects change in meaning and value throughout their history, based on their production, use, the nature of their exchange and movement, and the peoples and events with which they interact. The production of PAB object biographies will enable CSs to: examine the objects' original uses; the journeys that led to removal from their original settings; and their transportation and display in the UK. PAB object biographies privilege embodied, sensuous, and affective forms of understanding and expression, facilitating the integration of CSs' ideas and experiences with their archival research to amplify voices largely precluded from influencing the accepted narratives of these objects. The result will be to challenge conventional text-based accounts and encourage new ways of seeing and feeling.The project comprises five work packages: preparation; the PAB process; imaging and 3D printing of objects; exhibition; promotion and dissemination. A steering committee including project partners and CSs will guide the process. Manchester Museum's collection includes artefacts from regions that overlap with the countries of many of the UK's contemporary forced migrants (Africa, the eastern Mediterranean and western Asia). CSs will select objects of interest and work with the museum archives, curators, specialists, and us to research their history. Imaging and 3D printing of the objects will create replicas that can be manipulated and explored in ways that the originals cannot. In a process co-designed and facilitated with BAME/refugee-background artists from Sheba Arts with experience in creatively engaging with forced migration, the CSs will use their chosen art form to explore how their own ideas and experiences intersect with the archival research on the artefacts. The resulting PAB object biographies will communicate the complexities of forced migration and transnational history. These artworks will form the basis of an exhibition at the Museum and online, with the original objects. Along with other academic and public outputs, the exhibition will engage diverse audiences in critical reflection and affective understanding of the forced migration of people and objects in transnational context, contributing to the decolonisation of ancient history and heritage and encouraging future PAB citizen science history and heritage initiatives.

该项目开发了一种创新的新方法-参与式艺术为基础的对象传记-以解决（错误）的人和古代物品被迫迁移到英国的理解。结合档案研究对象从他们的原籍地区，并生产的PAB对象传记，借鉴自己的被迫迁移的经验，青年CS从难民背景将利用知识生产的情感，具体和感性的模式，以产生和分享新的观点对英国博物馆收藏。作为殖民占领的直接后果，来自非洲和亚洲的古代历史文物填充英国博物馆，但他们如何进入收藏品的细节往往记录不清。这些物品通常是过去文明的静态表现，几乎完全由白色的西方学者解释。这种情况掩盖了他们传记的复杂性，这些传记讲述了关于跨国移民和帝国历史的重要故事。相反，英国的难民背景年轻人是由他们的运动定义的，他们的难民背景阻碍了他们的政治，社会，经济和文化融合。导致他们被迫移民的环境位于联合王国之外，否认了帝国和当代新殖民主义的遗产。这些年轻人和古老的历史物品都需要新的叙事。这个项目将把它们放在（新）殖民纠缠的跨国历史中进行对话，以产生对每个人被迫迁移的独特见解。对象传记认识到，对象在其整个历史中的意义和价值都在变化，基于它们的生产，使用，它们的交换和运动的性质，以及它们相互作用的人和事件。制作PAB物品传记将使CS能够：检查物品的原始用途;导致从原始环境中移除的旅程;以及它们在英国的运输和展示。PAB对象传记特权体现，感性，情感形式的理解和表达，促进CSs的想法和经验与他们的档案研究的整合，以放大声音，在很大程度上排除了影响这些对象的公认的叙述。其结果将是挑战传统的基于文本的账户，并鼓励新的观看和感受方式。该项目包括五个工作包：准备; PAB过程;对象的成像和3D打印;展览;推广和传播。一个包括项目伙伴和国别服务员在内的指导委员会将指导这一进程。曼彻斯特博物馆的藏品包括来自与英国当代许多被迫移民的国家（非洲，东地中海和西亚）重叠的地区的文物。CS将选择感兴趣的对象，并与博物馆档案馆，策展人，专家和我们一起研究他们的历史。对象的成像和3D打印将创建可以以原件无法的方式进行操作和探索的复制品。在一个与来自Sheba Arts的BAME/BAE背景艺术家共同设计和促进的过程中，他们在创造性地参与强迫移民方面有经验，CS将使用他们选择的艺术形式来探索他们自己的想法和经验如何与文物的档案研究相交。由此产生的PAB对象传记将传达被迫迁移和跨国历史的复杂性。这些艺术品将构成博物馆和网上展览的基础，与原始对象。沿着其他学术和公共产出，该展览将吸引不同的观众对跨国背景下人与物的被迫迁移进行批判性反思和情感理解，为古代历史和遗产的非殖民化做出贡献，并鼓励未来PAB公民科学历史和遗产倡议。
