Lecturer: Kyle Jordan – Egyptologist and curator
Date & Time: Saturday September 6th starting at 4:15pm
Location: Cooper Art Gallery
Kyle Jordan is passionate about improving knowledge and understanding of disability in ancient Egypt and wider antiquity and has given many talks and papers on the subject. He has also had experience volunteering with museums, in particular the Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology and the British Museum.
His displays are loud, proud, thought-provoking, sometimes funny, often moving. The tight community that he created with his co-curators at the Pitt Rivers Museum was incredibly impressive, binding together as it did a really diverse group that included a university professor and a young woman with Down’s syndrome.
