Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

Laura Copsey and Philip Crewe undertook a residency with House of illustration in response to the heritage of the New River, creating a speculative museum of storied objects and ephemera that celebrates the lives of three real characters found in the archive, with artefacts inspired and informed by traditional craft and site-specific process. Each character‘s collection adopts a 'para-fictional‘ quality which in museum contexts creates ethical tension. We will consider our intentions for the framing the work as 'immersive heritage‘ where interpretation is enacted by an audience and maker.
