Opening this autumn: a major exhibition on fantasy at the British Library in London!
I was on the Advisory Board for the exhibition (along with Neil Gaiman, Aliette de Bodard, and Roz Kaveney) and absolutely urge you to go see it if you can, as it was put together with a great deal of care and love by a great team of folks from the British Library and Matthew Sangster from the excellent Centre for Fantasy and the Fantastic.
Terri Windling will be there on 9 November for an event on fairy lore in fantasy and balladry, along with Ellen Kushner, Diane Purkiss, Jeannette Ng, and the amazing ballad singer/collector Sam Lee. More info here:
Terri will also be there on 9 December with book artists and film designers Brian Froud, Wendy Froud, and Alan Lee:
Terri Windling said, via her Facebook page: “This is the “secret project” I’ve been involved with for over a year now, but couldn’t publicly talk about until the BL’s official announcement. Now the word is finally out. If you’re in traveling distance of London from 27 Oct, 2023 to 25 Feb, 2024, please go see it if you possibly can. And if you can’t, there will be a book/catalog published alongside the exhibition containing essays on fantasy by all kinds of good people…including one from me”.
