Marks Make Meaning: drawing across disciplines is an exhibition and related events that will honour celebrated alumni and showcase the extraordinary range of drawing research and practice across the university. It will also be a platform for collaborative projects with external partners and an opportunity to discuss future drawing research directions. Underpinning the show are three key strands: space and place; health and wellbeing; and education and learning.
Drawing practices, from explanatory sketches and diagrams through to maps, prints, plans and much more, are fundamental to many disciplines and professions. They are deeply embedded across the arts, architecture and many other design subjects and are also part of learning in subjects as wide-ranging as engineering and medicine. In the context of an international growth in drawing research, Brighton’s particular focus is on the understanding and applications of drawing.
