The fascinating story of how the Egyptian hieroglyphs were decoded will be celebrated with the Ferens Art Gallery being the first stop on a national tour, following the major exhibition at the British Museum marking the centenary of the decipherment of hieroglyphs. Unlock the mystery of Egyptian hieroglyphs and discover all about the ancient world and the origins of civilization. Events will additionally explore missing identities and how we might better reflect the dynamics of local communities in Hull, in the past, present, and future. The accompanying events programme will be an opportunity for the young curators and creatives to share their work and for visitors to share their ideas about identity and the Ferens. The exhibition encourages people to look again and rediscover the Ferens collection and how they identify with it. The group has worked collaboratively with a curator to choose items from the collection, to co-produce an exhibition that will also feature new works created in response to the themes of Identity. In late 2022 and early 2023, the Rediscovering group explored what identity means to them, to communities in Hull, and how our multiple, fluid identities are represented by art in the Ferens collection. The Rediscovering Ferens | Identity project is acollaboration between the Ferens Art Gallery and young people from The Warren and Future Ferens.
