Co-curated with Small Island Games, Haiku Adventure: The Craft of Games explored the intersection between traditional Japanese woodblock prints and videogames - two different mediums separated by centuries and yet linked by a common sensibility.
​
The exhibition presented the development of Small Island Games's 'indie' title Haiku Adventure, juxtaposing its creative process with its artistic influence: the ukiyo-e prints of Edo-era Japan. The display followed on from the Gallery's 2017 exhibition, Sheer Pleasure: Frank Brangwyn and the Art of Japan, which was formative to the game's conception.
This exhibition showcased original Japanese prints alongside interactive game displays and an overview of the development process, allowing visitors to experience a modern adaptation of an ancient craft.
​
The exhibition was held at the William Morris Gallery from February to September 2019.
