Full Description
This book was published on the occasion of the exhibition HYBRIDS Composite creatures from fables, myths and legends from 9 June 2024 – 17 November 2024 in cultuurhuis / Art Centre de Warande, Turnhout – België/Belgium.
Fantastic creatures from myths, sagas and legends are often hybrids, composed of different, often very varied animals. Frequently, they also appear to be a mixture of humans and animals. Such representations and descriptions of hybrid creatures occur in all cultures around the world and have existed since ancient times. This publication reads like a wondrous journey into a grand Wunderkammer.
Text in English and Dutch.
