Artemis joined the British Museum in 2005
and has been the Curator of African Money since January
2007. She has mainly been working on cataloguing the African money
collection so that it can be made available online. She is also
working to create educational resources on the history of money in
Africa.
Her research interests focus on traditional
African currencies and textiles as currency in West and Central
Africa. She is also interested in the transition of African
countries from colonial rule to independence, and the British
Museum and its use of the African collections in
the twenty-first century.
Artemis has an MA in History of Art from
Birkbeck College, University of London and she is currently
studying for an MA in Arts Management and Policy in the same
institution.
