Goodbye from Renaissance Skin! Our project has officially come to a close in December 2022. Thanks to all who have collaborated with, supported, and followed the Renaissance Skin project over the years. Read our final news item here https://t.co/pvCsfekzTc

A year since #VisibleSkin and a good moment to think about the long and complex history of visibility, representation, and power…

[Renaissance Skin @RenSkinKCL]

It is 1 year since the launch of 'Visible Skin: Rediscovering the Renaissance through Black Portraiture'. We were so proud to stage the exhibition across the @KingsCollegeLon Strand campus last year. Reminder that it is still available to view online here! https://t.co/ftfhupVgZO

So excited to see this and thank you for all the @RenSkinKCL conversations that fed into the article and so much more! Congratulations.

[Hannah Murphy @murphyhs2019]

So exciting to see this game-changing piece by @PaoloGall0 out in the world, so many implications for #histSTM #twitterstorians thinking about knowledge, materiality, the politics of science and the ‘scientific revolution’…

[Evelyn Welch @evelynwelch2013]

Thank you @murphyhs2019. It has been a privilege to work with you all.

A fascinating team, fascinating research, and fascinating events over the past years! Warm congratulations, again, to the entire @RenSkinKCL team!

It’s not everyday your (award-winning!) brother makes a show about your research and then, during lockdown, turns it into a film….”

Every three years @CemsKcl has the privilege of organising the Gollancz Lecture and this year we're honoured to host MARISA FUENTES, whose Dispossessed Lives has already changed the way we think about sources and silences

2. Thank you, too, to our wonderful participants in yesterday's Multilingual London workshop! You've opened our ears in such fascinating ways to some of the polyphonic sounds of the early modern city.

[Centre for Early Modern Studies at King's @CemsKcl]

It's been a busy but exciting week!

1. Thank you so much to Tuesday's 'Ways of Knowing' co-hosts @RenaissanceGoo and collaborators @odeuropa @MakingKnowing, @re_fashioning and @archaeobears for inspiring contributions opening up new avenues for interdisciplinary collaboration.

[Lily Freeman-Jones @lfreemanjones]

So grateful to @RenSkinKCL for this opportunity. A room full of fun, ideas, and insight (not to mention food...) for two whole days: what more can you ask for?! Thank you and congratulations to everyone involved on this fantastic, monumental project👏

[Hannah Dawson @DrHannahDawson]

Co-investigators Evelyn Welch & Hannah Murphy at the end of the Renaissance Skin closing conference. What women, what a journey, concluding yesterday with true self-representation, the reality of paint, and piercing your dog's ears. Such love and kaleidoscopic thought in the room

[Dr Krisztina Ilko @krisztina_ilko]

I was delighted to have had the opportunity to present about my research on ‘Adarga shields and the materiality of oryx hide’ at the closing conference of @RenSkinKCL @kingshistory. So many brilliant papers on Renaissance Skin!

[Renaissance Skin @RenSkinKCL]

@print_be_little @evelynwelch2013 @kingshistory Unfortunately not, sorry you couldn't make it! @print_be_little

[Renaissance Skin @RenSkinKCL]

To bring a fantastic conference to a close, a talk from our PI @evelynwelch2013. Thank you to all who took part and made it such a rich, engaging event (and look out for the bejeweled puppy in the slide, who may be appearing in an exciting book coming soon!)
