Journal of illustration 13.1
The 14th Annual Illustration Research Symposium, ‘Illustration & Heritage: Sharing Histories to Draw Out Futures’ (November 2024), invited papers that explored the intersections between illustration and heritage, with international speakers from archaeology, architecture, archiving, conservation, design, heritage, illustration, and museology. The presentations – delivered as papers and exhibited as posters – allowed for an interdisciplinary exploration of the two practices, illustration and heritage, emphasizing their similarities both as active processes, considering their tangible and intangible dimensions.
For this volume of the Journal of Illustration, we bring illustration and heritage together once more. We play on this idea in our writing and classifications by using the slash: illustration/heritage. By bringing the two words closer together on the page, we narrow the gap.
The Journal of Illustration Volume 13 comprises two issues, the second of which, 'Illustration & Heritage: Drawing out Futures', will be published in November 2026.
