This panel discussion brings together a diverse group of collectors who focus on everyday or overlooked objects, and considers how collecting can reframe the mundane as something culturally or personally significant. In this conversation, collectors reflect on their own interests: how objects are selected, preserved and shared, and how meaning and value emerges through these processes. Rather than treating collecting as accumulation or investment, the discussion approaches it as a way of telling stories - what is kept, how it is remembered, and why it matters.

This programme is presented in conjunction with the exhibition, Talking Objects. Talking Objects is presented in parallel with The Living Room in the Collection Gallery. Together, the two exhibitions invite reflection on how art is experienced, interpreted, and carried through time and space.
