Every object tells a story

‘Every object tells a story’ is an extraordinary exhibition at Storytellers. It displays the latest collection of work gathered by Oliver Hoare, one of London’s most distinguished dealers in art objects and curiosities. Our writers chose objects at the exhibition, found their stories and told them in the form of a sestude. Other 26 writers, in different parts of the country, were invited to take part by choosing and writing about their own objects. Our aim was to show that every object tells a story. We met in the morning to choose our objects, wrote our sestudes by lunchtime and had this website published by the end of the day.
