Will We Forget the Written Word?
Each month, the Collection Conversations series invites you to explore history through the eyes of Powerhouse Museum volunteers. Inspired by the Powerhouse Collection, these engaging talks spark curiosity and conversation, blending storytelling with unique insights from volunteers and curatorial research. Add your voice to the conversation!
In May, join us for Will We Forget the Written Word?
From chiselled stone to touchscreens, this talk explores how writing has evolved from printing presses and typewriters to emails. Showcasing stories from the Powerhouse Collection, we’ll ask: Are we losing the written word? Or simply reshaping it?
