A recent exhibition themed around regrettable text messages has highlighted that nearly 40% of Brits have sent messages they immediately wished they hadn’t. Issues range from embarrassing typos and emotional oversharing to awkward flirty messages. The study reveals that 70% of people have felt the urge to hide after sending a cringe-worthy text, with many experiencing this weekly. The exhibition, featuring artwork by Babak Ganjei, celebrates these awkward moments in pop-up galleries located in London and Glasgow this weekend.

The phenomenon of regrettable text messaging is increasingly common in today’s digital communication landscape. Studies show a significant portion of the population experiences embarrassment, especially due to autocorrect fails or misinterpretations of humour. This exhibition was launched to promote a new cocktail and serves not only to showcase artwork but to create a moment of social connection over shared cringe-worthy experiences.

The pop-up gallery showcases art that embodies the shared experiences of texting regrets, reminding the public that everyone has cringed over a text. It also highlights the intersection of social media communication and personal embarrassment, providing a humorous and relatable space for reflection.
