Uppsala Castle Museum X Konstfack

Students from Graphic Design & Illustration at Konstfack have been working on depicting both historical fates and contemporary collected memories from the castle. In the course, students have explored narrativity – how a story is both told and interpreted – through color, shape, scale, texture and composition. The work explores how visual expressions can convey emotions, memories and abstract ideas in a way that brings new life to the rich and multifaceted history of the castle.
