The Curating Cultures MA programme at SOAS is delighted to present an exhibition of artworks and objects from the SOAS Teaching and Handling Collection.

This exhibition highlights the beauty of Japanese recycling, showcasing objects made of cotton, hemp, bast fibres, washi (handmade paper) and pottery dating mostly from the Edo period (江戸時代, Edo jidai) or Tokugawa period (徳川時代, Tokugawa jidai).

The exhibition explores three generations of artists from Iran and the Arab world, from the early pioneers of a vernacular ‘Lettrism’ movement to those incorporating the written word in their works today.
