Look out for Dolly Sen roaming the building with her collecting tin for fictional charity Help the Normals. Dolly created the tin as a protest object to challenge assumptions about who we should pity. One of Dolly’s collecting tins is on display permanently in the exhibition ‘Being Human’. Stop for a chat with Dolly and please give generously – they won’t!
