Biography

Darryl Clifton:
Darryl Clifton is an educator, researcher and illustrator and currently the Illustration Programme Director at Camberwell Chelsea and Wimbledon college (CCW), UAL. Clifton’s research is defined as trans-disciplinary, using methods that draw on the intersectional spaces of illustration, design, anthropology, the sociology of education and immersive/virtual technologies with a particular focus on the potential for disciplinary ‘disobedience’ to enable transformative educational experiences in the pursuit of social justice, equality, diversity and inclusivity. In 2010, working with colleagues at UAL, Clifton revived Camberwell Press and went on to transform it into a multi-disciplinary, situated, studio creating opportunities for recent graduates and students to gain experience in commercial, cultural and social practices.
