Abstract

An exhibition in the Holden Gallery at Manchester Metropolitan University bringing together examples of journaling/sketchbook practices from school-children, students from FE and HE, research students and professional practitioners.

This exhibition highlights the ways in which creative-cultural practitioners reveal critical reflection in / through their engagement with a sketchbook or journal. It does not define practitioner in a professional or disciplinary sense but as someone involved with an active participation in creative-cultural production. It attempts to present this sense of participation in a narrative form – reflective stories.
