History, reinterpreted
The artworks revisit shared history through commentary, irony and hindsight. The catalogue explains the event and the interpretation behind each image.
An idea worth sharing
A familiar image can start a conversation. An unexpected detail gives that conversation somewhere new to go, connecting personal recognition with collective memory.
The meme you already know
The collection draws on cultural references audiences have encountered before. Its original contribution is the way those references are brought into a new relationship.
The research behind recognition
Explore how recognition, processing fluency, collective memory and identity inform the design, with articles that connect the ideas to their sources.
