Things I Lied to My Parents About
Real confessions of what people lied to their parents about as teenagers, with space to add your own, in the Youth Club Gallery.
The confessions are handwritten on sheets of lined paper: real things people lied to their parents about as teenagers. There's space to add your own, so the revision session that was actually a club night can finally go on the record.
A group of 16- to 23-year-olds from the museum's youth collective curated it, and Euronews says its subject is lying as part of working out who you are. Much of it is about the lies told to get out to a club, and what those nights gave people. Roar News picks out DJ Ritu and DJ Radical Sista, and calls clubbing "an ideal interstitial space for British Asian and later queer women".
It's in the Youth Club Gallery, it's free, and it closes on 1 November.
