Make Books Not War
12:00 pm Tuesday 2 May 2023 – 4:00 pm Saturday 3 June 2023
Make Books Not War explores the world of book design, artists’ books, zines, radical pamphlets, and the stories they embody.
Tuesday 2 May – Saturday 3 June | East Gallery
Original art sits alongside recently commissioned works for Strangers Press in this exhibition exploring the vivid adventures of GRRR (aka Glen Robinson, Course Leader for BA (Hons) Design for Publishing and BA (Hons) Graphic Design, and Rebecca Robinson) as they stumble through layered narratives found in naturally occurring intersections between the metaphysical realm, and terrestrial landscape, collecting spell fragments from a cast of unlikely collaborators.
Make Books Not War is presented by Norwich University of the Arts as part of its East Projects series of exhibitions, performances and events that showcase current research from the University in Fine Art, Film, Photography, Design and Gaming.
