This exhibition is one of the outcomes of an AHRC Science in Culture research award for an interdisciplinary research project to explore the Archive of the Anti Locust Research Centre, housed in the Natural History Museum in Kensington, with additional locust specimens at the National Museum Wales. This AHRC funded interdisciplinary project brings together an historian (PI, Dr Robert Fletcher, Warwick University), an artist (Amanda Thomson, GSA), a forensic entomologist (Dr Katherine Brown, Portsmouth University) and an ecologist (Dr Greg McInerny, Warwick University) to explore the ALRC through its archive.
This exhibition, in conjunction with the National Museum Wales Natural Science Collections, contains objects and papers selected from the Anti Locust Research Centre archive by project members, with explanatory texts and panels also written by project members, together with seven etchings and two films about the archive made by Amanda Thomson.
