Journal Article
Craft, War, and Cultural Diplomacy
2019
Overview
The “Modern British Crafts” exhibition, which toured North America between 1942 and 1945, sheds light on the importance of craft in the development of national and diplomatic ideologies. Presented and received as a legacy of the transatlantic Arts and Crafts movement, the exhibition reinforced an existing tradition of cultural exchange that could stand for a political alliance. Foregrounding craft, domestic space, and the work of women, and echoing images of air raid damage, the exhibition dismantled assumptions that the domestic and the feminine were remote from war and avant-garde art.
