The Preservative Party

Preservative Party on the Case

28 April - 19 October
Leeds City Museum

The Preservative Party invite you to see Leeds through their eyes. In their latest exhibition, Leeds City Museum's group of volunteer young curators have chosen to share the topics that matter most to them.

Grounded in their experiences as young adults from Leeds, this display delves into a varierty of themes, including: issues of modern food poverty, discovering identity and connection within 'alternative subcultures', experiencing community and joy through carnival, and celebrating the life and work of Alan Bennett.
