Description
Oral History in the Visual Arts explores how artists, writers and historians use interviews as creative practice, 'history' and a means to gain insights into arts production and identity. This groundbreaking text examines case studies from international scholars and practitioners across various fields, demonstrating the value of oral history interviews in a relational practice that is both creative and rigorous. The book maps the ways in which oral history contributes to our understanding of 'voice', authenticity and authorship in the visual arts. Through its wide range of case studies, it highlights the importance of this research method for students, researchers and practitioners across the field. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the role of interviews in art, craft, design, fashion and textile history.
