With Esther McManus
Takeaways:
• Consider a publications from the text as a prompt, its form, flow, production all stemming from that
• ITERATE and PROTOTYPE, the group discussed and tested each idea as we went
• Final product was worked on by the whole group
• Key change in pace between standard book binding and then a fold-out map like section reflecting a change in the text
• Beautiful text source: Flat-Packed History: Disassembling simplified narratives and recovering anti-imperialist histories in Northern Ireland by Gráinne Donahue
• Text has relevance for current enquiry in Positions through contextualising – imperialism, colonialism, British Empire, education, identity
• Esther kindly looked at my project and suggested references and how I might develop it
