A major exhibition exploring how ideas rooted in horror have informed the last 50 years of British creativity. The Horror Show! A Twisted Tale of Modern Britain is coming to arts centre Somerset House on October 27 and will run until February 19 2023.
The show, in London, aims to look beyond horror as a genre, instead taking it as a reaction and provocation in troubling times. Featuring over 200 artworks and culturally significant objects, the show tells a story of turbulence, unease and creative revolution at the heart of the British cultural psyche over three acts – Monster, Ghost and Witch.
It has been expertly co-curated by BAFTA-nominated filmmakers Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard and Somerset House’s Senior Curator Claire Catterall.
