Behind the Scenes: The Specialist Associate
What goes on behind closed doors in a Natural History Museum? Our specialist associate Dzaki Safaruan demystifies the relatively unknown part of museum work as he takes you through his day-to-day activities behind the scenes at our museum!
Growing up from a little boy collecting leaves, sticks and stones at neighbourhood playgrounds, he had two things: his fascination for wildlife and art. Today, he goes on expeditions, preserves specimens, and maintains one of the largest crustacean collections in Southeast Asia. Occasionally, he finds opportunities to meld art into his work, sometimes manifesting in the form of sketches and doodles from his adventures exploring remote forests around the region as part of an expedition team.
Here is the recording for this session:
