About this event

Our Story is a collaborative heritage project uncovering trans and gender-diverse lives in Nottinghamshire.

The touring exhibition brings together a gallery of portrait photographs, personal ephemera, and audio stories, marking the culmination of an ambitious project. Young LGBTQ+ people and their allies interviewed and photographed trans and gender-diverse people across generations, working together to co-create the exhibition. 

The recorded interviews will be transcribed and deposited with Nottinghamshire Archives where they will be permanently preserved as a collection accessible to future generations.

The project celebrates rich histories, from community resistance to everyday life and joyful expression, honouring the full breadth of trans and gender-diverse experiences across Nottinghamshire.

Exhibition opening hours: Please note that between 7th and 31st July this exhibition will be open to the public from Tuesday to Thursday between 9am and 5pm.
