Art Without Heroes: Mingei is the most wide-ranging exhibition in the UK dedicated to Mingei, the influential folk-craft movement that developed in Japan in the 1920s and 1930s. With works including ceramics, woodwork, paper, toys, textiles, photography and film, the exhibition will incorporate unseen pieces from significant private collections in the UK and Japan, along with museum loans and historic footage from the Mingei Film Archive.

Organised in partnership with Waltham Forest Council’s Intensive Dementia Outreach Service as part of Dementia Action Week 2024 (13th – 19th May), William Morris Gallery would like to invite people affected by dementia to a ticket-only curator-led tour of this exciting new exhibition.

The Gallery staff have received Dementia Friends training and a member of the Outreach Service will be on-hand to support the tour.

Please note that this event is free and is ticket only.
