Collection Conversations is a free program that brings the Powerhouse Collection to life through storytelling and curatorial insight. Led by Powerhouse Volunteers, each talk invites audiences to see familiar objects in new and meaningful ways.

Writing
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?
