Dorich House Museum

Dorich House Museum will be hosting an exhibition of works by MA Curating Contemporary Design students from Kingston University between Thursday 26 February and Saturday 28 February 2026.

‘Dorich House: Fragments of Truth’ unfolds at Dorich House Museum as an experiment in curatorial stewardship. The exhibition explores the meaning of ‘stewardship’ within the context of collections. Through the gathering of objects as witnesses, we invite them to communicate their partial stories to visitors within this museum and its tumultuous history. Truth here is provisional, assembled through fragments, gestures, sounds and encounters. The display is treated as research, testing how drawings, texts, performances and pauses can cultivate care for humans and non-humans. Visitors become participants in meaning-making, tracing relations of justice and the rich history of ownership and memory across Dorich House. By decentring the authoritative voice and embracing uncertainty, our work proposes the museum as a living site where stories are shared, questioned, and collectively rewritten.

Make sure to pay a visit to the museum over these three days to see the works while the students are onsite to talk about their project, and experience a new perspective on the house and its history.
