51 Voices Creative Communities

As part of The MERL’s 70th anniversary celebratory project 51 Voices we have invited our local communities and creative practitioners to work together to respond to some of the early collections accessioned into the museum. Explore below some of the inspirational projects which have arisen out of these collaborations made possible thanks to the support of the Culture Recovery Fund.
