My Books, My Story virtual exhibition

Following the success of the "My Books, My Story" Highcross exhibition, the work of our young people has gone virtual.

My Books My Story Virtual Exhibit

Hopefully you will have heard of My Books, My Story by now, but in case it has passed you by, it is a project that was started last year to create an exhibition inspired by books, created and co-curated by Leicestershire children in care.

Culture Leicestershire have had a hugely successful pop-up exhibition at the Highcross in Leicester and since then have been working on a virtual exhibition.

We're so pleased to say that this online exhibition that has been designed by a very imaginative panel of young people in care. You can see the exhibition here: https://www.cultureleicestershire.co.uk/projects/my-books-my-story/

Culture Leicestershire will also be starting a social media campaign to try and get as many people as possible seeing the fabulous work that has been created, so if you are on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram please do share, like and generally spread the word! You can find them by searching ‘Culture Leicestershire’ and if you follow them you will see one piece of work being spotlight everyday until they get through all 54 children/young people that took part!
