As part of the Out and About: Queering the Museum project, there will be two workshop sessions for LGBTQ+ people to join the team - writer Natalie McGrath, RAMM’s Ellie Coleman, and University of Exeter’s Professor Jana Funke - to queer the collections at RAMM.

The first workshop (26 March) will look at queer objects at home. If you would like, you can virtually donate your object (by taking a photograph and writing a brief description) to become part of the unique online collection. Through this initial session the team will also talk about the importance of queer objects and stories in RAMM’s collections. You can see the objects already shared here: http://outandabout.exeter.ac.uk/queer-collectors-case/

The second workshop (9 April) will delve into RAMM’s collections using the online catalogue, and select an object that interests and resonates with you as an LGBTQ+ person. This will lead onto a discussion about what has been discovered, asking what it means to queer an object through our own perspectives and insights.

The workshops will be informal and welcoming spaces with a maximum of 16 participants. They are open to all LGBTQ+ people above the age of 16. The two workshops will build on one another, so please make sure you register to attend both workshops.

If you have any questions before signing up, please contact Natalie (malt1972@hotmail.com).

The workshops will take place on Zoom. Details to join the event will be emailed to you in advance of the date.
