cute guide presents a selection of objects and content that seeks to unpack the themes of cute. It was produced to accompany cute, an exhibition at Somerset House exploring the irresistible force of cuteness in contemporary culture.

The guide is ordered into five 'clusters' reflecting the curatorial themes in the exhibition providing insights into curated objects, products, artworks, videos, and playlists. The items in each cluster correlate with objects in the exhibition or catalogue, which are also accessible via QR codes.
