This workshop will take the form of a mini-exhibition curated by Dr Barik, originally exhibited at Visva-Bharati University India, followed by Q&A discussion. Dr Barik will discuss the mobilities of occult objects between India and England in this period, with specific focus upon items used in mesmerism and clairvoyance; the afterlives of these objects and the need to decolonise museum spaces; and contextualise how mesmerism travelled to England and discuss the practitioners of mesmerism.
