About this Event
Join Mireille Fauchon in this talk and workshop to discover how she used Katie Gliddon's Pr*son diary to explore illustration as a social research tool. The event will cover themes of feminism, materiality and social history.
Book description:
Through an investigation of the Holloway Pr*son writings of the suffragette Katie Gliddon, Mireille Fauchon explores illustration as a social research tool and creates within this book a model of practice-based enquiry.
Illustrative methods and expressive literary forms - collage, mixed media, print and ficto-critical writing are used to illuminate the characteristics of the subject matter. Drawing on archival study, anecdotal experience, practical research methods and narrative enquiry, this book brings together themes of feminism, materiality and social history.
Ideal for those studying illustration and qualitative research methods, Fauchon explores Gliddon's life writing not only as a case study of an individual woman's desires and aspiration for societal reform, she also creates a unique tool exemplifying how social research can become a work of narrative illustration in itself.
Bios:
Mireille Fauchon lectures at the Royal College of Art, London and is commissioning illustration editor of Ambit Magazine. She has completed a practice-based PhD at Kingston University, UK. Her practice is ultimately concerned with visual storytelling and the documenting of local history and social and cultural narratives.
