Rotherham Museums, Arts and Heritage will unveil its first youth-led exhibition ‘SELF: There’s More to Me Than What You See’ at Clifton Park Museum on 3rd May.
In collaboration with Children’s Capital of Culture, the thought-provoking exhibition asks visitors the seemingly simple question ‘who are you?’. It has been crafted by writer and artist Rob Young alongside talented young people aged 16 to 25 from Rotherham, with support from brand agency Peter and Paul, award-winning photographer, painter, and filmmaker Juliet Klottrup and poet and spoken word artist Sile Sibanda.
Lisa Howarth, Museums, Arts and Heritage Manager, said of the new exhibition: “This is a wonderfully interactive and imaginative exhibition designed with young people but suitable for all ages. Every wall, door and surface of the museum will work to question identity and how we express ourselves.”
The exhibition spans six galleries at Clifton Park Museum and will include objects from the art collection, Rotherham archives and social history collection. SELF also includes a creative programme which explores the themes of identity through music, visual arts, dance and spoken word aimed at intergenerational family audiences across the borough.
It will be open until 1st March 2026 and is funded by Arts Council England. To find out more, follow @cliftonparkmuseum on social media.
