Explore more of Southampton’s Queer Stories and celebrate the rich queer history of the city in a free exhibition at God’s House Tower, SO14 2NY till Sunday, October 27.
In the Barker-Mill Project Space, extracts from newspapers and pamphlets are exhibited alongside video clips of local news reports and more personal oral histories and photographs.
This exhibition will not only celebrate the queer history of Southampton and the hard-won fight for LGBTQ+ rights, but will also preserve the legacy of queer people in the area by forming a new collection to be deposited in the City Council’s Museum and Archive collection.
This exhibition was developed to accompany a new ‘a space’ arts commission by Ian Giles called Everyone Involved.
