The magic of everyday technologies Messy Realities - the Secret Life of Technology

Exploring how everyday objects support health and wellbeing: medicines containers and mobility aids. Researchers, community members and Museum facilitators explore technologies and artefacts from the Museum collections in conversation about how people personalise, adapt and make things work for them. Discussions encompass: faith and trust in medicines; visible disabilities and hidden needs; identity, aesthetics and ideas of objects telling stories about their originating environments.
