Enter the magical world of Wonderland by East London Printmakers, an exhibition exploring fairytales, myths and folk tales from around the world. Featuring over 80 art works, the exhibition includes depictions of much-loved European tales such as Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling, as well as folklore from other continents.

The varied cultural and geographical backgrounds of the 50 exhibiting artists are evident in the works shown, taking us to places of good and evil, quests and heroes, love and friendship. East London Printmakers is an independent collective of around 200 artist-printmakers based in Hackney.
