New Podcast: ‘That Feels Like Home’

We have recently launched a podcast called  That Feels Like Home.

This podcast links the museum’s collections with current research, artistic practice and teaching at Middlesex University and beyond.

For the first season, MoDA’s Curator, Ana Baeza, interviewed Jill Stewart on the use of museum objects in reminiscing with people with dementia (Home Memories), and talked to Magali Peyrefitte on the impact of gentrification on London’s suburbs (Home Displacements).

Episode three features Nicky Lambert and Paula Chambers on the relationship between domestic spaces, gender and mental health (Home Discomforts).

In future episodes we’ll look how textile artists are using more sustainable dyes and fabrics, and we’ll talk to  Josie Barnard on the relationship between place, home and writing.

You can listen to the podcast on Apple podcasts/iTunes, Spotify, TuneIn, Stitcher and Google Podcasts. Search for ‘That Feels Like Home’ and subscribe, follow, favourite, and share!

We’re currently working on ideas for seasons 2 and 3. We’re aiming to explore pedagogical perspectives using collections, from slow pedagogies to feminist approaches. Guests will include staff and students from Middlesex University, as well as creative practitioners and researchers whose work links to the collections at MoDA.
