John Edmonstone: The Forgotten Teacher of Darwin
Step into an intimate storytelling experience where history is carried by presence, breath, and the human voice.
This is the story of John Edmonstone — a man born into enslavement in Demerara, who carved a path to freedom in Scotland and became a master taxidermist. A man whose skill and knowledge shaped the young Charles Darwin, yet whose name was quietly removed from the pages of history.
In this experience, the room becomes a quiet world of memory. The storyteller guides you through John’s journey with stillness, warmth, humour, and emotional depth.
One story. Three worlds. A forgotten figure brought back to life.
