Abbie Vickress (University of the Arts London), “Reimagining the Narrative(s) of Contested Cultural Artefacts”
Abstract: UAL Research Resident Artist Abbie Vickress will talk about the residency and the ways that this experience has evolved her PhD research on how graphic design influences the interpretation of contested cultural artefacts in museums and archives. She will discuss how design elements frame and shape visitor perception of artefacts and the political narratives surrounding them, and the possible roles of pluralism and knowledge agency within historical institutions.
