Garage Sale

We’re holding a Garage Sale,  from 23rd November to 17th December 2023!

Inspired by the work of Martha Rosler, our Garage Sale – as well as offering some great bargains – challenges the viewer to take a critical look at the second-hand market in the UK, particularly the pricing policy of charity shops as they strive to find new audiences. Come along to find out more. We’re at the top of the escalator in the Eastgate Centre.

Stay tuned for further blog posts and activities around objects and second-hand goods.

23rd November – 17th December 2023

Thursdays to Sundays 10:30 to 16:00 at the Hundred Heroines Museum
