Led by Helen Little this one hour tour will share how this exhibition has been created with guest curator Edward Enninful and look at selected works and objects that reflect the themes and ideas of the exhibition.
Curated by fashion industry game changer Edward Enninful OBE, whose lived experience of the decade informs the exhibition, The 90s: Art and Fashion examines a defining period in which a groundswell of creativity changed the face of British culture.
As Britain began to emerge from recession, a new dawn of optimism, freedom, and rebellion was ushered in, epitomised by a new generation of diverse creative talent. Seen through Edward Enninful’s eyes, this sense of opportunity resulted in art, design, fashion and photography fusing into one potent cultural force, signalling an audacious renewal of British spirit. The exhibition explores how long-held hierarchies were dismantled, with high art and pop culture feeding into one another, and reflects both the energy and the challenges of the decade, looking at the enduring influence of key figures who emerged during this time.
