A new cultural festival. Join us on December 10 for a celebration of the arts, design and architectural movements of the mid-20th century.
Celebrate modernism in all its forms, from buildings to music to fashion to art and design, and find out what modernism can teach us about living well in the 21st century.
Join us from 10am to 6pm at one of London's greatest modernist buildings, the recently refurbished Waltham Forest Town Hall, for talks, debates, tours, masterclasses and exhibitions.
