A simple drawing on a cream background in which four hands are visible. Three hands are holding pencils; two of them are drawing the unfinished outline of a mantlepiece, while the third is writing the following words below: Mantelpeace: A Taking Part exhibition from Young Vic. The Man on the word Mantelpeace is filled in, while the rest of the word is just outlined.

A Taking Part Exhibition from Young Vic

Mantelpeace

The Maria and The Clare Studios

Ticket sales and exchanges are currently unavailable online and by phone due to the global IT outage. If you would like to see MANTELPEACE today, we are still taking walk ups. Please go to the Young Vic box office when you arrive and our team will be happy to help you. The exhibition will be open from 1-9pm.

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
