Guided Tour: Stories of Wounds and Wonder
Join this special visit to hear more about the communities, animals, and tales that inspired the intergenerational book Stories of Wounds and Wonder.
During this tour, Nuraini Juliastuti will give an introduction to the materials shown in the display companion of her children’s book Stories of Wounds and Wonder. Gathering a diverse collection of resources that inspired the publication -from texts to textiles and puppets – the display companion is also a homage to the libraries of the Indonesian rural communities Juliastuti calls the ‘commons museums’. As part of the visit, Juliastuti will present their important work of transmission and how it connects to her publication and wider research. In keeping with the spirit of these libraries, the tour also includes moments for copying and drawing together.
