Our Projects and Exhibitions
The Preservative Party have curated exhibitions at Leeds City Museum, including our first exhibition ‘Treasured: Stolen, Smuggled, Saved?’ an exploration of the journeys that objects take before we see them in the museum; ‘In Their Footsteps’ about life in Leeds during the first world war; and the ground-breaking, award-winning exhibition ‘Overlooked’.
Alongside our exhibitions, we have led and participated in many projects including working with the University of Leeds to co-produce ‘Whose Power?’. This project explores who has been missing from the histories of energy and why they need to be included in future energy decision making. We have also produced individual research projects including ‘Preservative Party on the Case’.
We decide what projects we would like to work on, often inspired by the museum collections. Read our stories to find out about our latest projects.
