The Face Magazine: Culture Shift

National Portrait Gallery | Until 18 May

London’s museums and galleries are enjoying a nostalgic love affair with the subcultures of 1980s Britain this year.

On right now are Tate Britain’s The 80s: Photographing Britain documenting the huge social upheaval of the era, and the Fashion and Textile Museum’s Outlaws delving into the fashions of the New Romantics. Next up is Tate Modern’s Leigh Bowery exhibition, highlighting one of the decade’s most significant cultural figures, followed by the Design Museum’s autumn exhibition on the era’s countercultural headquarters, the Blitz Club. And then there’s the National Portrait Gallery’s offering, The Face Magazine: Culture Shift.
