On 16th October I will be visiting the British Museum for a day of Folk Horror Revival. Master of ceremonies on the day is Chris Lambert curator and writer of Songs/Tales from the Black Meadow. The first Folk Horror Revival
event will be taking place at the British Museum, London on October
16th 2016, featuring talks, lectures, short films, poetry readings,
museum tours and other wyrd and intriguing happenings.
Cult television programmes and films of the 1960s and
70s are inspiring a new generation of poets, writers, artists and
musicians with their atmospheric themes of contemporary individuals
interacting with a uniquely British world of ancient mythology and
magic, often uncanny and unsettling.
This special event will feature lectures, film screenings,
performances and gallery tours of featured objects in the Museum’s
collection to explore themes of cultural rituals, earth mysteries,
psychogeography and folklore. Come along and prepare to be scared!For more info about the day and guest speakers please go to here
