Our saga of the wrongly identified objects continues in this special episode. Join us as we take a look at a painitng depicting Rustum and Sohrab from the famous Persian epic, Shahnama.

But is it Rustum and Sohrab? Or perhaps a different scene altogether?

Tune in to unravel the mystery of the provenance of this particular museum object!

In this special episode, we take a closer look at the figure of the crying woman. Or is she crying really? Let's find out!

A lot of people mispronounce it, a lot of people misspell it, a lot of people have no idea what it means.

Meet provenance. A thing without which archaeology and research is not possible. For everything that is archaeologically relevant, we need to have context. 

In this special episode, join Ms. Shriya Gautam as she talks about the importance of provenance and why wrong provenance of objects in museums can have devastating effects for archaeology, anthropology, and art history.

Join us in our latest episode where we talk to Dr. Vidhu Gandhi (WSP India) about the Aboriginal Australian Heritage and decolonisation. Be a part of the engaging conversation that followed Dr. Gandhi's talk in our recent Talk with an Expert Session!

What does it really mean to “decolonise”?Is it just about returning stolen objects? Rewriting museum labels? Or is it something much deeper—something that shakes the very foundations of how museums and heritage institutions operate?

Join Simran and Shriya as they dive deeper into the concept of decolonisation and discuss what it truly means!

Sometimes the gap is the monument.

In the tug of war between who gets named and remembered and who does not, lies a story of inheritance, loss, mourning, and hope.

We are in conversation today with Prof. Dan Hicks (Professor of Contemporary Archaeology at the University of Oxford and Curator at the Pitt-Rivers Museum), where we unpack what it truly means to let monuments fall once in a while. Join us as we embark on a fascinating discussion about decolonisation, engaging with colonial legacies, and humanising those who were forgotten.
