Description

The art group Alt Går Bra present a new exhibition exploring the political and social history of the world-famous Gestetner duplicating machine, made in Tottenham.

Featuring over 100 artefacts from Haringey Archive and Bruce Castle Museum, alongside those uncovered from Gestetner users from around Haringey and beyond, the exhibition explores the Gestetner machine as a device that revolutionised the office. It also reveals how the machines were put to alternative use, enabling a wave of political activists, artists and writers to produce printed publications quickly, affordably and with relative ease.
