Connect & Create: Our Lives Through Our Objects

When

4 Sep 2025, 5:00pm

Where

Holocaust Centre North, University of Huddersfield.

Cost

Free – donations welcome.

How does a precious object tell a story? Is there a book you were given by a kind teacher or a memento from someone you have loved?

Join us for a creative workshop, sharing stories and food while we create together. We invite you to bring and share stories of your important belongings as we explore objects from our collections and the memories and meanings they hold .

With artist Mandy Keating, we’ll use collage and mixed media to make concertina books of all our objects and stories.

This event is free to attend, however booking is preferred. To reserve your place, please use the booking link provided, call Holocaust Centre North at 01484 471939,  or email us at hcn@hud.ac.uk. Please contact us to discuss any accessibility needs.

Supported by Kirklees Council.
