Michael Tooby

His interests lie in integrating the practices often separated in curating in the arts and heritage settings: research, display, promotion, participation and learning.

[2] Tooby's commitment to participation and social engagement is exemplified[3] by his role in, Journeys with 'The Waste Land', a major exhibition exploring the significance of T.S.

Information about the project (including its timeline, methodology, downloads, videos[8] of its research group in action and visitor data) is available on the Turner Contemporary Website.

His starting point was the use of William Blake's Illustrations to Dante in Journeys with 'The Waste Land', which was created by the collective sharing of different life experiences and expertise by over 100 participants in its curating.

He will show how this process was informed by his previous interest in testimony when co-curating faith-based and minority cultural projects in Wales, such as The Muslim World on Your Doorstep[10] and Hineni: belonging and identity in a Jewish community.
