DESCRIPTION:The Barber Institute's lunchtime talks are delivered by staff, students, academics and researchers at the Barber and our wider University of Birmingham community.

 Reclaiming Narratives is the culmination of a collaborative artist project between the Barber Institute and the students and staff of the College of Medicine and Health (CMH). Spanning three years, the project aims to uncover hidden voices and histories within the college and celebrate the people who are part of it now.\n
 Artist-Facilitator, Marley Starskey Butler and the Barber’s Student Engagement Coordinator, Kirsty Clarke, will discuss this project and reflect on the importance of representation, and the significance of seeing oneself in your place of work and study.\n
 Marley Starskey Butler is a multidisciplinary artist and social worker. They currently work within visual, audio, and written mediums through themes of opposites, parallels, memory, love, loss, reflection, process, and play. Marley’s concurrent practice as a social worker has been in areas across child protection, fostering, adoption, and mental health as a jigsaw piece in promoting wellbeing, social justice, and human rights. The intersections between art, social work, and their familial lived experience of social work creates the foundations and tools for Marley to process and make sense of the world, both outside and inside of themselves.\n
