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?
