Photography Social Group: Lisa der Weduwe

Please join us on Wednesday 21st Febrauary at 18:30 GMT for our monthly Photography Social Group talk by Lisa der Weduwe from the Museum of Youth Culture.

Museum of Youth Culture is a new emerging museum dedicated to the styles, sounds and social movements innovated by young people over the last 100 years. Championing the impact of youth on modern society, the collections encompass photographs, public submissions, oral histories, objects and ephemera celebrating teen lives. From the bomb-site Bicycle racers in post-war 1940s London, to the Acid House ravers of 1980s Northern England, the Museum of Youth Culture empowers the extraordinary everyday stories of growing up in Britain. 

Since 2019, the Museum has invited the general public to submit their photographs and memories through the flagship Grown up in Britain campaign, taking thousands of submissions since. Grown Up in Britain invites the public to help build the museum narrative and challenges traditional stereotypes about young people.

Lisa der Weduwe is the Archive Projects Manager at the museum and heads up the organisation's outreach campaign.
