In 2010 Emma Stibbon was Derek Hill Scholar at the British School at Rome. Continuing her line of enquiry into history and collapsed empires Stibbon considers the city as a symbol of both memory and amnesia.

Emma's research focuses on the dialogue between Ancient Rome and Mussolini’s Fascist plans for the city, and considers how architecture is appropriated to lend credibility to new regimes. Her research sets out to explore a response to place through drawing as an expanded practice, including print.
