Recently, our Senior Curator Jemimah Widdicombe reflected on the process of curating FRIEND, our feature exhibition that explored whether the relationships between humans and machines could be anchored in practices of care. We've just republished the article on our Knowledge Hub if you'd like to have a read:

This piece was first commissioned for and published in un Magazine 20.1 Stones & Circuits, guest edited by V Barratt and Julianne Pierce, the launch for which was held here at NCM.
