Tae, one of our amazing volunteers, has curated a case in Leeds City Museum’s collectors cabinet gallery. Looking at how Trinidad has been collected in Leeds, this exhibition is a great example of how contemporary collecting can challenge our collections colonial legacies

Wonderful to be back Preservative Party tonight and to see Tae's thought-provoking exhibition come to life. I particularly liked the way they used photographs taken by their family in Trinidad. And then we got to delight in more curatorial genius Leeds Art Gallery new show. Go see both...

A few of us have been into Leeds today to see the new installation ‘Ribbons’, celebrating women who have contributed to this city Delighted to see Abigail Harrison Moore right in the centre! Now everyone in Leeds can see what we know… that Abigail is amazing&inspirational! Congrats!

We love this idea! Let’s do it 👍🏻👍🏻

Lots of creativity happening in the room tonight! We’re letting the group get on with things but lots of giggles make us excited to see what they’ve produced

We’ve had a bit of a quieter night at PP tonight as the city is alive with all the festivities of light night! Look at how beautiful Leeds City Museum is! If you’re in Leeds over the next two evenings enjoy and stay safe!!

Our project mentors have been back in the Discovery Centre today preparing for the opening of Whose Power? in a new location… It’s been fab to get up close with all our objects again and really think about how all these amazing items explore power in all its forms!

Preservative Party and I are excited to be part of the exciting things to come in 2024!

Been a great afternoon thinking together about how we will adapt our exhibition first shown earlier this year Leeds City Museum with our discoveries as the Leeds Museums & Galleries Discovery Centre...can't wait to reopen Whose Power?

Whilst working on ‘Whose Power?’ we’ve enjoyed thinking about how we engage young people in co-curation and participatory research! Abigail Harrison Moore & Dr Lauren Theweneti have shared some of the things we have learnt with #THECampus Check out their first article below ⬇️
