Museum of Truth and Lies

Announcing the launch of the Museum of Truth & Lies!

Storytelling Fellow (23/4) Yasmin Khan, invites you to listen to the Museum of Truth & Lies, a new limited-edition audio podcast, featuring exclusive conversations with influential artists and cultural leaders.

Participants give a refreshingly honest take on how museums can navigate culture wars and how to inspire the next generation of curators and truth-tellers from an anti-racist lens.

About the project

Museum of Truth and Lies is a podcast series accompanied by a playful Muse-Zine.

MoT&L seeks to inspire the next generation of museum curators, policymakers, and creatives to be better truth-tellers. Its mission is to empower museum visitors to be inquisitive and maintain trust.

Yasmin is the podcast host and a socially engaged curator who brings together a diverse range of commentators and cultural leaders in deep conversation. Through these rare encounters, they debate how to curb misinformation in our cultural institutions and collections.

The series of extraordinary interviews with grassroots artists, activists, and influential changemakers explore critical questions such as ‘Do you believe what museums show you?’ ‘Are museums telling the full truth? and ‘What stories are missing?’.

Each podcast episode will signpost listeners to an artist-illustrated Muse-Zine. The published toolkit will contain a co-created board game that animates the WISDOM manifesto - MoT&L’s 6 dimensions of truth-telling in museums.
