In this talk, Rowan Bain, Principal Curator at the William Morris Gallery), will discuss her new book, published by Yale University Press to coincide with the Gallery’s exhibition William Morris and Art from the Islamic World. Rowan will provide insight into the book’s diverse perspectives on contextualising Morris’s role as a collector of Islamic art, and the enduring importance of recognising the contributions of various cultures to the evolution of his design and craftsmanship.

Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start.
