We’re collaborating with the Museum of London!
The Museum of London is relocating to a brand-new site in Smithfield and they have invited us to work with them as they curate the Young Londoners Archive – a new collection by young people living in the capital.
Since January, we have been working alongside the Museum of London to deliver a play about identity and belonging to children and young people. The aim is to encourage young people to think about what they would like to see in the new London Museum and inspire them to contribute to the exhibition due to open in 2026.
WHAT IS THE ‘MUSEUM OF ME’?
Friends, Star, Mila, and Raheem go on a school trip to the museum but can’t seem to find anything that represents their own lived experiences. When asked by their teacher ‘What would go into the museum of YOU?’ the three go on to discover their unique identities and catalogue the objects that aim to represent who they are, where they come from and how they belong in London.
The ‘Museum of Me’ looks at London in our time and explores diversity through food, family, friends, culture, and sports.
