For many of us, cursive writing is just that – a relic of the past. But what happens when we can no longer read the very words that connect us to our history, our families, and ourselves? The Cursive Conundrum, a new exhibition at the New Brunswick Museum, invites you to explore the fascinating story of cursive writing and its significance in the digital age.
With the help of expert curators and a treasure trove of artifacts, including the recently conserved Frankland Journal, this interactive exhibition guides you through the history of cursive writing. Discover how it was taught, its artistic aspects, and what it reveals about the people who wrote it. Try your hand at writing with a quill pen at a recreated 19th-century school desk, and share your own cursive creations with loved ones.
“The Cursive Conundrum” isn’t just an exhibition; it’s getting people talking. Join us as we explore the role of cursive writing in our digital world and the importance of preserving our personal heritage. Can we afford to lose this piece of ourselves? Share your thoughts and experiences at the exhibition’s interactive mailbox, on loan until May 26, 2019.
