A Collection of Disarticulated Bones is a new body of work that traverses centres of knowledge in the US, UK and Europe in order to unpick different foundation myths of the Global North: institutional, pop cultural and embodied. This long-term research project examines how decisions relating to preservation and presentation can shape national and individual identities, in the context of imperialism, late capitalism, rising ethno-nationalism and polarised public debate on both sides of the Atlantic.
