Abstract
ABSTRACT The 2015 summer internship programme connected to a special exhibition on the Indus Valley Civilization was a watershed in the history of the Lahore Museum. Rediscovering Harappa: Through the Five Elements opened on the 21st of November 2015, showcasing original Harappan artefacts from the museum’s permanent holdings in conjunction with interpretive artworks that had been produced by the ‘artist-interns’ within the internship programme. This paper provides an overview of this internship – one that offered opportunities for curatorial research documentation and artistic production to college students, under the mentorship of museum experts. Conducted by the Inheriting Harappa Project, a major challenge taken up by this internship was to cultivate a sense of ownership of Harappan cultural legacy amongst the youth of Pakistan.
