- **Event Description**: Why can’t we touch museum art? A night of stand-up comedy + a live lecture on the strange rules around loving, touching, and damaging art.About this EventYou can look. You can admire. You can feel deeply moved.But don't touch.Don't get too close. Don't cross the line. And definitely don't interact with the art in the wrong way.So what happens when someone cares too much? A touch. A kiss. A protest. When does devotion become destruction?Juniper Todd holds an MA in Sociology and researches the strange boundary between how museums encourage us to care about art and how they decide which relationships with it are legitimate.On September 27th, she's bringing that question to Laugh & Learn.Here's how the night works:First → stand-up comedy to warm up the roomThen → Juniper takes the stage for a fascinating live talk followed by audience Q&A.What you'll actually learn:Why museums have such strict rules about how we physically interact with artThe surprising stories behind touching, kissing, protest, vandalism, and repairWhere the line between devotion and destruction actually liesThis is for you if:You've ever seen a DO NOT TOUCH sign and immediately wanted to touch the thingYou love museums, art, or weird stories about human behaviourYou want a night that's genuinely funny AND makes you see art differentlyDetails:📍 Beyond The Pale ByWard Taproom, 21 George St, Ottawa📅 Sunday, September 27th🕖 Doors 6:30 PM | Show 7 PM⚠️ Small intimate venue.
