Althea McNish @ Whitworth Gallery

 Althea McNish was the first Caribbean designer to achieve international recognition and one of the most influential and innovative textile designers in the UK. This exhibition explores McNish’s extraordinary career and her transformative impact on mid-century design, along with her enduring influence today. Highlights include items from McNish’s recently uncovered personal archive – much of which has never been seen before. Also on display will be examples of McNish’s original designs alongside her most celebrated textile and wallpapers.
