M+ Young Collective is a volunteer programme that engages curious, passionate, and dedicated young volunteers who come together to explore how M+, as a space for display and social participation, can connect the museum’s exhibitions and collections with the daily life experience of young people and their thoughts. M+ Educators will work with young people to challenge preconceived ideas, bring creativity to life, and exchange thoughts. Members of Young Collective alongside Educators work to develop, plan, and deliver a series of public programmes responding to the programme’s annual theme and M+ exhibition content, and to share their findings.

Is love all-powerful? Is it blind? Can it ever be contained by a single form?

In today’s world, where living well on our own seems possible, speaking of ‘love’ can feel almost old-fashioned. Yet love is what teaches us to reach out—to build connections that shape who we are and who we become together. Between knowing ourselves and understanding others, we slowly learn how to live together. We hope that the museum, as a space for dialogue, can be a place where we find one another again—where we learn the gentle art of loving ourselves and loving others, with care and respect.

This year, under the theme ‘Well-Loving’, we invite you—fellow seekers of love—to explore why love still matters and how we might discover a wiser, deeper approach to love. Guided by the M+ Educators, we will turn to the museum’s collection for inspiration, creating public programmes for M+ at Night that invite you to see how artists capture love in its many forms and to rediscover, in art and in life, the delicate balance between self and others.
