This object-facilitated discussion and online event centres on shamanic objects from the Lindgren Collection at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA).

Focusing on a Numanchen shamaness’ outfit, drum and other accessories, while also featuring images and videos of contemporary shamans from Inner Asia, the event will consider the question, what can objects tell us about healing heritage and cultural change?
