God Save the Queens

An exhibition in the basement gallery of the Museum of Youth Culture in London, looking at the women whose work shaped punk's music, imagery and sense of identity.

God Save the Queens focuses on the women who influenced punk's sound, imagery and sense of identity, with Poly Styrene named as one of a generation of pioneering figures. The show looks at how these women reshaped the movement's visual and cultural language.

Visitors see artworks, photographs, clothing and private archive documents connected to these women. The displays fill the basement gallery of the Museum of Youth Culture, a London museum dedicated to keeping the story of youth culture alive and to its youth work and national outreach programmes.

The exhibition will appeal to anyone interested in punk's creative history, whether through its music, its graphic and fashion imagery or its personal documents. It is a visiting exhibition, so people can come along at any point while it is open.
