Interviews are becoming an increasingly dominant research method in art， craft， design， fashion and textile history. This groundbreaking text demonstrates how artists， writers and historians deploy interviews as creative practice， as 'history'， and as a means to insights into the micro-practices of arts production and identity that contribute to questions of 'voice'， authenticity， and authorship. Through a wide range of case studies from international scholars and practitioners across a variety of fields， the volume maps how oral history interviews contribute to a relational practice that is creative， rigorous and ethically grounded. Oral History in the Visual Arts is essential reading for students， researchers and practitioners across the visual arts.
