Royal Museums Greenwich’s (RMG) Youth Collective is curating the organisation’s first youth online takeover on 17 July.
The group, comprised of young people aged 16-24 from the London borough of Greenwich, will take charge of the museum's digital platforms, using the website, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
They have been meeting regularly to co-produce the event, which will respond to the museum’s themes of identity, habitability and inequality. The collective have set themselves the task of reimagining a museum where all voices are heard and where history is reinterpreted to account for the untold narratives.
They will use the hashtags #reimaginingmaritime and #younggreenwich. RMG incorporates the National Maritime Museum, the Royal Observatory Greenwich, the 17th-century Queen’s House and Cutty Sark.
