DESCRIPTION:A talk by Edmund de Waal on his installation 'A Local History'
  for the Alison Richard Building.\n\nA local history is an installation of
  three vitrines filled with porcelain\, sunk below the paving outside the 
 Alison Richard Building on the Sidgwick Site of Cambridge University. Thes
 e vitrines are meant to be discovered\, to be happened upon as you come an

 re not sculpture as a Grand Statement.\n\nAbout Edmund de Waal\n\nEdmund d

 en\, or dispersed.
