WI2021 Day 1 Session 2: Live from Queer Britain

2021 Working Internationally Conference Day 1 Session 2: Live from Queer Britain Queer Britain recognises that history exists in the here and now. It resides in ordinary, everyday people's lives, as well as in the extraordinary. We also need to make an extra effort to capture the thoughts and voices of under-recorded and under-represented communities. A lot of LGBTQ+ heritage has been lost and we need to ensure that the flow is stemmed. This session covers the development of the Queer Britain museum with a special focus on their interlocking Open Letters to Queer Britain and Queer Pandemic projects. Open Letters To Queer Britain is a collaboration between Queer Britain, Levi’s and Post Office. It invites LGBTQ+ people and their allies across the UK to write a letter to Queer Britain for our collection, future exhibitions and publications and to feed a collaborative research project, Queer Pandemic, being undertaken between Queer Britain, Kent State University, Ohio, and Goldsmiths University of London. The main focus of the Queer Pandemic study is digital filmed oral histories but the letters will also be studied. Together they create a valuable snapshot of life for LGBTQ+ people in lockdown, their hopes, fears, experiences, memories and thoughts.
