These workshops are concerned with how we work with private media materials when we seek to bring them in to the public realm. It has increasingly been acknowledged that our museums and galleries need to widen their collections. Often though, trunks, attics and garages continue to store cine film, photographs, documents and other artefacts. The three proposed workshops are organised on the following basis: (1) cine film (2) visual and written artefacts and (3) traces of travelled objects. In all three sessions the skills of academics, new researchers, artists, curators and archivists will be pooled together to consider (1) ethical and theoretical issues and (2) creative practices that currently exist and how they can be innovated futher through future projects. The style of the workshops will infuse high theory with practice-based sessions, including work in progress.Questions of memory, time and loss make it difficult to have public conversations of records of the past. These workshops will reflect on some of the difficulties inherent to materials from autobiographical and collective pasts. They will also engage with creative methodologies that work with the difficulties. Ethical aspects of collecting and representing will be explored with the contrasting responsibility to remember and document. Innovative methods for using new media in thinking through the connection between collecting, curating and exhibiting will be fore-grounded. As will be the opportunity for generating new collectives in public conversations of private media collections within the domain of galleries beyond the more predictable ways of hearing and telling stories and accounts.All of the workshops will be organised by a collaborative team from Herbert Media, Goldsmiths College and Coventry University. The sessions will be held at Herbert Art Gallery in Coventry. Essential background readings will be sent to participants in advance of the events. As participants will draw on work in progress, a 'live' aspect to research will operate alongside theorisation. Theorists will speak at all three of the sessions, as will practitioners, artists and active members of different 'community' groups who want to explore innovative ways in which cine film, photographs, videos, diaries, letters and travelled objects can be brought into the public realm in a sensitive and engaging way.The three workshops will be on:1. Cine FilmTheoretical interventions that impact on all the workshops will be presented here, with attention to the specific case of cine film. This session will include an academic specialist who has interpreted non-professionally produced cine film, as well as staff from galleries and museums who archive amateur cine film of local scenes and events such as the workplace and political meetings. A small selection of cine films will be transferred to DVD so that screening of work in progress can be safely conducted.2. Visual & Written Artefacts This session will illustrate how 'invisible' narratives and histories can be (re)constructed using photographs, video, letters and film from the past to create new narratives of engagement. The workshop will involve both academics and practitioners and students involved in producing artefacts of their own historical routes. A small selection of student projects will become the focal point of the workshop. The students will be assisted in their preparations for the presentations.3. Material Traces of Travelled ObjectsThe session will examine the meanings of treasured personal possessions brought to the UK by those who have journeyed here. It will enable an exploration of the significance of private relics and mementos within narratives of remembrance, identity and belonging. The multiple pathways of travelled objects and the traces they bear will be introduced through examp

这些研讨会关注的是，当我们寻求将私人媒体材料带入公共领域时，我们如何处理这些材料。越来越多的人认识到，我们的博物馆和美术馆需要扩大其收藏。然而，行李箱、阁楼和车库通常继续存放电影胶片、照片、文件和其他手工艺品。这三个拟议的讲习班是在以下基础上组织的：（1）电影胶片;（2）视觉和书面人工制品;（3）旅行物体的痕迹。在这三个会议中，学者，新研究人员，艺术家，策展人和档案管理员的技能将汇集在一起，考虑（1）伦理和理论问题，（2）目前存在的创造性实践以及如何通过未来的项目进一步创新。研讨会的风格将注入高理论与实践为基础的会议，包括正在进行的工作。记忆，时间和损失的问题使得很难有过去的记录公开交谈。这些讲习班将反映一些固有的困难，从自传和集体的过去材料。他们还将参与创造性的方法，与困难的工作。收集和代表的道德方面将与对比的责任，以记住和文件进行探讨。利用新媒体思考收藏、策展和展览之间的联系的创新方法将是有根据的。这将是在画廊领域内私人媒体收藏的公共对话中产生新集体的机会，而不仅仅是更可预测的倾听和讲述故事和账户的方式。所有研讨会都将由赫伯特媒体，金史密斯学院和考文垂大学的合作团队组织。会议将在考文垂的赫伯特美术馆举行。基本的背景读物将在活动之前发送给与会者。由于参与者将利用正在进行的工作，研究的“生活”方面将与理论化一起运作。理论家将在所有三个会议上发言，实践者，艺术家和不同“社区”团体的活跃成员也将发言，他们希望探索创新的方式，将电影，照片，录像，日记，信件和旅行物品以敏感和吸引人的方式带入公共领域。电影胶片影响所有研讨会的理论干预将在这里提出，注意电影胶片的具体情况。该会议将包括一名解释非专业制作电影的学术专家，以及来自画廊和博物馆的工作人员，他们将当地场景和事件（如工作场所和政治会议）的业余电影存档。一小部分电影胶片将被转移到DVD上，以便安全地放映正在进行的工作。视觉和书面艺术品本课程将说明如何使用过去的照片，视频，信件和电影来（重新）构建“无形”的叙事和历史，以创造新的参与叙事。该研讨会将涉及学者和从业人员以及参与制作自己历史路线文物的学生。一小部分学生项目将成为研讨会的焦点。学生们将得到帮助，为演讲做准备。旅行物品的物质痕迹本课程将探讨那些在这里旅行的人带到英国的珍贵个人财产的意义。它将使人们能够在纪念、身份和归属的叙述中探索私人遗物和纪念品的意义。通过实例介绍了运动物体的多重路径及其所承载的痕迹
