Poetry Competition from the organisation Honouring the Ancient Dead (HAD)
Often we find displays of the bones of ancestors in museums
that lack much, if any, consideration of the personhood of the individual on
display. Honouring the Ancient Dead (HAD) never advocates display of ancestors
but recognises that it still happens. Today we are launching a competition to
create a poem to be used as a standard tribute for the ancient dead. Every
museum known to have ancestors on display will be offered the winning poem to
be used as a plaque alongside the display. Additionally, the best local entries
will be presented to the relevant museum – to celebrate the community voice.
Detail can be found on HAD’s website at www.honour.org.uk/?p=1202
