Why Stuff Matters: Objects, Power and the Past
Mary Beard, classicist known for public-facing work on ancient Rome and Greece. Greg Doran, theatre director who tracks Shakespeare’s First Folios. Dr Sophia Adams, British Museum curator of Iron Age finds. They examine how everyday objects, burned hoards and well-used books reveal past lives, power, ritual and the emotional pull of material traces. Short, vivid stories and surprising artifacts bring history tactile and immediate.
