New Traditions:modern folklore exhibition at The Island
See event details

A event held at The Island on Thursday 20th June. The event starts at 18:30.


New Traditions is a multidisciplinary group exhibition on modern folklore in the UK and Ireland, opening on Summer Solstice!

Embark with us on a journey where modern British and Irish folklore is reborn, weaving modern day rituals, idols, and traditions into the fabric of traditional folklore.
We stand at the cusp of an extraordinary time, one that merges the echoes of ancient Albion lore with the pulsing grind of contemporary life.

There will be a wide selection of contemporary Illustrators, Artists and some surprise Performances on the opening night: think poetry, dance, music.

There will be a bar and a shop available.

Private View: 18:30PM on Thursday 20th June on until Sunday 23rd June 5pm.

Curated by Heather Savage.
