I am conducting research for my dissertation exploring affective frameworks and trauma-informed approaches to conservation practice with a particular focus on how conservators experience the emotional dimensions of caring for contemporary artworks and time-based media. I am looking for contemporary art conservators willing to participate in an interview (no longer than 60 minutes) either online or in person (London or the Netherlands). The interview will focus on your experiences of emotion in conservation practice, taking care of artworks engaging with sensitive themes and discuss ways in which conservators can be supported in their work. You are free to skip any questions, pause or withdraw from the interview at any time. Participation is entirely voluntary and all information will be treated confidentially. You may also choose whether you wish to be identified or remain anonymous in the research. Interviews will take place in June and July. If you would be interested in taking part, have questions or would like further information before deciding, please feel free to e-mail me: [email protected] <[email protected]> See the attached file for a more detailed abstract. ------------------------------ Yara Jakobs Graduate Student (Class of 2026) UCL Postgraduate Programme in the Conservation of Contemporary Art and Media London United Kingdom ------------------------------ 3.From: Geovanna Ochoa Manzo Posted: Tuesday June 9, 2026 1:59 PM Subject: RE: Evaluation of consolidation treatments for wood heritage affected by biological attack (insects).
