This summer, get a glimpse into the world of young men growing up in London with MANTELPEACE, a free exhibition. Immerse yourself in teenage memories, penalty shootouts and park bench confessions in this interactive exhibition which celebrates the transition from boyhood to manhood and provides a fresh perspective on traditional masculinity. 

Drawing from real-life experiences of young men in Southwark and Lambeth, the exhibition is curated by local Young Curators and Young Consultants, working with Lead Artist Adam Karim, Sound Designer and Composer Duramaney Kamara, Set Designer Finlay Jenner and Guest Artists. With contributions from Arco Academy, Lansdowne School, Southwark Inclusive Learning Service and Untold Creative Training.
