Ask a Curator day returns on September 16th 2020 and this year the AFI Research Collection will be participating. So get your questions ready!

The one-day event, was the brainchild of Jim Richardson, founder of MuseumNext, a conference on the future of museums. Frustrated that social media are usually used by such organisations to push out ‘bland marketing messages’, if they use them at all, Richardson wanted to harness Twitter’s networking power to drum up some direct engagement with curators across the globe. The idea was that a curious public would be able to question the keepers of cultural heritage about the objects in their care and what it is they do with them. While the event started on Twitter, museums have extended it to include real world events, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat and more.

Send your questions directly to the Instragram account or search the hashtag for questions any of the participating organisations can answer.

The team at the AFI Research Collection look forward to hearing from you.

A must-see exclusive online event for fashion victims, film fetishists and anyone with a haunting affection for department stores! The triple bill includes an online screening of Peter Strickland’s seductive, consumerist satire, In Fabric (2018), followed by a live conversation between the director and film critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas (former AFI RC Fellow), and a public masterclass, where Strickland and In Fabric costume designer Jo Thompson (This is England, Little Birds) will deep-dive into the topics of fashion victims, desire, bodies and consumption with Dr Ricarda Bigolin, Associate Dean of Fashion and Textiles Design at RMIT.

In the latest episode of RMIT Culture's 'Unpacked' series, John Hughes, filmmaker and AFIRC Committee member explores an iconic poster from the Sydney Filmmakers Co-op, designed by Jan Mackay and printed at the Tin Shed Art Workshops, Sydney, in 1981.
