home is where the heart is

Guest Curator for Society for Animation Studies on Animationstudies2.0

During February and March 2024 I guest curated and co-editing a call for the Society for Animation Studies. My writing on my video home is where the heart is  and on my video practice more generally, is included in the resultant collection of writings. The Royal College of Art newsletter issued by the School of Communication explains:

Nicky Hamlyn, PGR Tutor in the School, features in a new collection of writings for animationstudies 2.0, the blog of the Society of Animation Studies. Guest curated by RCA PhD candidate Karen Bosy, contributors also include RCA alumna Sharon Young and current RCA student Despina Papadopoulos. The Society for Animation Studies promotes academic writing in the field. The theme for this call, Implying the Surface in Animation, presents the spatial environment as grounded, without representing it as ‘the ground’ in films, animations, or other works using animation strategies or technologies. The contributions were published weekly throughout February and March: Table of Contents HERE
