To celebrate approaching 100k downloads Cursed Objects is putting on its first-ever live show! For free!!
Building on our tagline 'Getting drunk in the gift shop with the Angel Of History', we will take you on an experimental journey through the best and worst tat we’ve found in museum gift shops. What do objects that test the boundaries of acceptable taste show us about life under late capitalism? Expect discussions of Winston Churchill socks, Viking rubber ducks, and the Van-Gogh-ification of everything from watches to sleeping masks.
This is our first run at a live show, and the venue is small - so if you can't make it that evening, or don't register in time, don't worry! There will be more to follow.
