With HOLY POP!, Somerset House is diving into the world of modern shrines, exploring the way that we honour heroes and celebrities and the way that ritual idolisation can create community in an increasingly secular society. Featuring pieces that showcase personal devotion and communal mourning, referencing the likes of David Bowie, Princess Diana, Andy Warhol and Harry Potter’s Dobby the Elf, the exhibition is a celebration of the objects that bring us together and our fascination with pop culture.
