A Conversation With My Granny

A conversation with my granny started with a bracelet, once hers, now mine, worn daily. Curious about the stories that can exist within objects, I held a conversation with my granny to better understand the meaning behind each charm, uncovering anecdotes of a life she lived long before being ‘granny’. This publication is paired with its contrasting counterpart — a second publication cataloguing each charm held in the Southwark Cuming Collection, making their stories more accessible too. Together, the two explore how objects have the power to hold memory and identity.
