A talk by Dr Alexandra Green, originally held at the ACM Ngee Ann Auditorium on 19 February 2025.
Objects lead interesting lives. They are made and owned, have roles in exchange and prestige, and some arrive in museums and become displays. This talk explores the ways in which objects contribute to an understanding of the world around us and how they both uncover and shape history. Specifically, Alexandra Green will look at two projects based on the Southeast Asian collections at the British Museum: The recent Burma to Myanmar exhibition and current research into eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Javanese shadow puppets. Although materially and culturally separate, the artworks demonstrate the major roles that objects play in making history.
Alexandra Green is S. P. Shaw Curator for Southeast Asia in the Departments of Asia and Money & Medals at the British Museum. Recent publications include Burma to Myanmar (2023), Southeast Asia: A History in Objects (2023), and Burmese Silver from the Colonial Period (2022).
