Here are the printed running sheets, folded and ready for binding by the printers, of Not Going Back to Normal, a book that I have recently designed, published by Collective Gallery, Edinburgh. I am very proud to have been involved in Not Going Back to Normal, a ‘provocation about how things are and an idea for how things could be. This gallery manifesto gathers disabled artists in their diversity, rage, and imagination to call out the institutional ableism in the Scottish arts and picture a future in which disabled artists are central.’ The book has been edited by Sasha Saben Callaghan and Harry Josephine Giles and has been produced by Siobhan Carroll of Collective. It is printed by Gomer in Wales. I am very excited to see the finished book: Collective have received the finished books but my file copies have gone missing on their way from Wales to Scotland – apparently, it looks great. I will post more photos when I get the books and write about the design elements that aim to make it more accessible to people with visual impairments and for people with dyslexia and other neurodiversities.
