Part of a week long activity at the Rylands, starting on the 23/07/12 and concluding 29/07/12, called as stated '4 Areas of Investigation (A Mancunian Personal Journey)' This presentation focuses on my Artist's work undertaken last year at The University of Salford on the Masters of Art in Communications Design course. The Rylands assisted with the logistics of Author's work undertaken on-site, and featured in the final submission.
*Places for this event can be reserved by contacting The John Rylands Library event line directly.
The above is in support of the following - Weeklong activity WB 23/07/12 - 29/07/12
'Handwriting, is it a dying art and recollecting a personal memory?'
An activity which asks the question 'Is Handwriting a dying art form?' and then asks of the visitor 'can they recall a specific memory connected to a place or time?' They are then asked to record this on a postcard in their own hand and post them in a postbox. This activity will run throughout the WB 23/07/12, and concludes on Sunday the 29/07/12.
