What do you know about gender and sexuality diverse communities around the world?
In Season One of /Queer, we worked with individuals and communities across the USA, Japan, Indonesia, the UK & Ireland- offering them an opportunity to share aspects of their own lived experiences, providing visibility for these diverse and vibrant cultures and identities.
In Season Two we will be going further- travelling to Malta, Türkiye, South Africa and Lesotho- to continue recording and archiving these oral histories. Listen to community representatives tell stories about gender and sexuality from their cultures in their own words.
We are committed to sharing these stories- ethically, equitably and inclusively.
