Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund writer and performer Tom Marshman led a two hour workshop ‘Queering Archives’, to uncover stories of local LGBTQ people of Gloucester via a range of archive material, bringing local stories to the fore, alongside performance ‘Jenny’.

The above graphic illustrates the workshop’s approach to working with and queering archives.
