Books and the Human is the result of a collaboration between the AHRC, Arts and Humanities Research Council and Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, and was part of the AHRC’s 10th Anniversary Debate series, entitled ‘The Way We Live Now’.
In collaboration with Dr Sheena Calvert and Shuruti Vengatesh, this project provided the oportunity to work across a wide range of roles, exhibition design, curation, identity, letterpress printing, type setting and bookmaking.
In an age when digital technologies and e?books in particular are challenging the traditional forms of the book, how do these changes impact on our relationship with it?
What does the book as an idea, as a repository of information and as a physical object mean to us any longer? What does our changing relationship with the book say about ‘The Way We Live Now’?
