Folk Archive

This significant and approachable exhibition will be a vibrant visual account of the energetic and engaging creativity from a vast range of activities occurring throughout the UK and Ireland now.

It will update how folk and vernacular art is considered in the light of recent social, technological and cultural changes and through addressing the politics of display it negotiates the boundaries between what is considered art and non-art.

Presenting arresting and incredible objects, drawing, painting, performance, costume, decoration, political opinion, humour, poetry, misbehaviour, downright weirdness and more from our own, often overlooked, doorstep.
