This collection-viewing experience will introduce audiences to the materiality, aesthetics, techniques and history of handmade books, from illuminated medieval manuscripts to cutting-edge contemporary Victorian artist books. In an increasingly digital world, opportunities to engage in person with physical cultural heritage material are ever more valuable. Celebrating the world’s ongoing love of the book in all its forms, this talk will illuminate the joyfully human nature of book arts and the way in which books hold memories of individuals and communities.
Held in the Digital Laboratory, SLV.
