| Description: | In 2016 I curated the exhibition A+: 100 years of graphic communication by women at Central Saint Martins which showed graphic design by women who studied or taught at Central Saint Martins from 1910 to 2016. There are short biographies of the designers who were in the show on the website: www.graphicsukwomen.com: Alessia Mazzarella / Alexandra Epps / Amelia Noble / Anne Howeson / Anne Magill / Astrid Stavro / Aude Van Ryn / Bianca Wendt / Cath Caldwell / Clare Skeats / Eleanor Crow / Heather 'Herry' Perry / Helen Ingham / Morag Myerscough / Sunny Park / Rebecca Ross / Valeria Hedman / Nina Chakrabarti / Kat Garner / Scarlet Evans / Sroop Sunar / Rachel ‘Ray’ Marshall / Dora Batty / Freda Lingstrom / Margaret Calkin James / Kathleen Hale / Nicolete Gray / Peggy Fortnum / Enid Marx / Judith Kerr / Jo Brocklehurst / Margaret Calvert / Stefanie Posavec / Kate Hepburn / Su Huntley & Donna Muir / / Debbie Cook / Sheena Calvert / Sian Cook / Lucienne Roberts / Rebecca Wright / Catherine Dixon / Rose Epple / / Rathna Ramanathan / Lizzie Finn / Catherine Anyango / Rebecca & Mike / Lydia Blagden / Jayne Alexander and Violetta Boxill / Rachita Saraogi, Marina Viktorsson & Rebecca Thompson / Sara de Bondt / Julia Woollams / Kath Tudball / Tina Tsang / Tanya Brennand-Roper / Syd Hausman / Carla Matoses / Lizzie Oxby / / See Red Women's Workshop / Jenny Maizels / Sophie Thomas / Miho Aishima / Persiis Hajiyanni / Sinem Erkas / May Safwat / Ruth Sykes & Emily Wood The objective of the exhibition was to celebrate the contribution of women to graphic design and to increase their visibility. Currently the graphic designers CSM students are introduced to through the curriculum are overwhelmingly male. Yet graphic design students at CSM are mostly female – 70% of our students are women. This exhibition, and my continuing research into women in graphics in Britain, aims to help redress this gender imbalance in graphic design history. The exhibition generated a lot of interest, and blog posts and interviews about it can be found at: Buzzfeed, Central Saint Martins, UAL, American Institute of Graphic Arts, It’s Nice That, Johnson Banks, Adrem Recruitment and Magculture. |
