The exhibition forms part of the inaugural UP YOURS! GOD SAVE THE QUEENS festival, a new London-wide programme running from July to November 2026. Alongside the exhibition, the festival has so far included a live performance “God Save The Queens – 50 Years of She-Punk”, featuring a newly formed supergroup of pioneering musicians from The Slits, X-Ray Spex and The Raincoats last Friday at Electric Brixton.
The Museum of Youth Culture opened its doors in June this year, founded by Jon Swinstead, as a spinout of his cult “post-drug culture” mag Sleazenation that used to be handed out for free to clubbers in the 1990s.
Here’s a sneak peek of what you can expect at the exhibition.
