MINIATURE ANTIDOTES
DATES:
13th January - 28th March
VENUE:
UCL Anthropology Department
FURTHER DETAILS:
DETAILS:
The Miniature Antidotes exhibition arose out of a research project carried out by Dr Dalia Iskander (Associate Professor in Medical Anthropology at University College London), called Crafting Small, Grasping Big (2022-24), that explored the nature and effects of miniature craft in the UK.
The objects on display are mostly made by participants from the study, but some also come from the UCL Ethnography Collection, or Dalia’s private collection. Together, they showcase the diversity and richness of miniatures and the effects this craft practice has on makers and wider society.
The exhibition is free and located in the Foyer of the Anthropology Department at University College London.
You can visit during regular working hours. To gain entry, please ring the bell to reach the Reception Desk. The exhibition is fully accessible on Ground Floor level.
Miniatura began in 1983 as a place for miniaturists to get together and enjoy their hobby. A place where craftspeople and collectors could meet and celebrate the best of the miniatures hobby. The organisers have always put this sentiment at the heart of the show. It is very much for miniaturists and by miniaturists.
