B Local Presents: Amateur Ancestor tour of the Great North Museum: Hancock

What if the key to your organisation having more impact was hiding in a museum? B Local North East are teaming up with Justine Boussard of the Amateur Ancestor Project for a special guided tour of the Great North Museum: Hancock followed by round table discussions exploring what it means to be good ancestors.

Justine will lead us through the galleries of the museum looking for the root causes of the extraordinary times we find ourselves in – as well as clues as to where we might go next. We will then regroup over coffee for dig deeper into the value of taking a long view on urgent challenges and opportunities.

Justine Boussard FRSA is a curator and storyteller with fifteen years’ experience working in the heritage and public art sectors. Her Amateur Ancestor Project reframes heritage as a lens through which to better meet the moment, helping organisations galvanise their teams around their response to the planetary crisis.
