Cheetah Reveal
Event Details
Start: 23 September 2017 at 2:00 pm

This new exhibit, created by ethical taxidermist Jazmine Miles-Long with help from the local community at our recent event A Late Stitch up at the Booth (see photo), will be revealed to the public for the first time.
Jazmine will be on hand to answer any taxidermy questions.
We’ve also teamed up with ONCA, more details below:
Join us at the unveiling of the Booth Museum's taxidermied cheetah with a panel discussion on taxidermy, extinction and creative responses to ecological loss. Meet ethical taxidermist Jazime Miles-Long, master embroiderer Katie Tume aka Mother Eagle, and Lost Species Day historian of biodiversity Matt Stanfield.
There will be artefacts to handle and opportunities to get close up to the cheetah, as well as time to chat with curators from the Booth. http://www.jazminemileslong.com/ https://madebymothereagle.com/

Getting to help stitch up a cheetah @ethicaltaxidermy is mounting for the Booth Museum! This cheetah died of abscess in her spine and jaw back in 1980, and has been sitting in a barrel in the museum ever since. Her skin is tough and brittle, as she is been in formaldehyde for 30 years - but she is looking good. So very soft too.
