[Commlist] Call for Papers Illustration & Heritage: Sharing Histories to Draw Out Futures

Call for Papers

ILLUSTRATION & HERITAGE: Sharing Histories to Draw Out Futures

On 22 and 23 November 2024, the 14th Annual International Illustration Research Symposium will explore the role illustration plays in cultural heritage. Hosted by the Illustration programme at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London, Illustration & Heritage: Sharing Histories to Draw Out Futures will present panels, papers, and posters by practitioners and researchers from the fields of illustration and heritage, who explore the active processes of heritage-making.

In what ways do contemporary illustrators participate in historical narratives and give voice to people and communities — both remembered and forgotten — through their work?

How are historical relics, places, and events represented through illustrative processes? How do researchers and practitioners in heritage utilise the practices, research methods and processes of illustration?

How does heritage shape the perspectives, positions, and identities of illustration practitioners and researchers? How is the process of heritage-making practised by illustrators around the world?

How do illustrative processes — and the shared languages of categorising, curating, conserving, and communicating heritage — bring illustration into the realms of archaeology, museology, curation, and other heritage practices?

Do illustrators who engage with heritage-making as part of their practice communicate and reflect what Stuart Hall described as a ‘collective social memory’?

Who should be making the images that shape the future histories of culture and identity?

When practising heritage-making with or through illustration, how do we make space for plurality, and how do we reflect on our subjectivity?
