Event details
The 14th Illustration Research Symposium will be held at UAL’s Chelsea College of Arts. It will include panels, papers, and posters by practitioners and researchers in illustration, heritage, architecture, anthropology, and other fields.
The symposium will consider principles including inheritance, displacement, collective memory, subjectivity, and plurality. How do contemporary illustrators participate in historical narratives and give voice to people and communities — remembered, obscured, and imagined — through their work?
The 14th Illustration Research Symposium will include keynotes from:
- Dan Hicks, curator and Professor of Contemporary Archaeology at the University of Oxford
- Yeni Kim, illustrator and Associate Professor at Hongik University
- Chris Lee, graphic designer and Assistant Professor at the Pratt Institute.
The symposium is curated in response to Illustration and Heritage, by Rachel Emily Taylor, published in 2024 by Bloomsbury Press.
This is organised by Illustration Research in partnership with the Association of Illustrators, Illustration Educators, and the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration.
