We are so excited to announce that we’ve been awarded funding by Historic England‘s History in the Making grant for our new project exploring the history of LGBTQ+ safe spaces in Southampton!
History in the Making is a grant that enables underrepresented young people (aged 13-25) to discover, engage, and connect with their local stories and ensure the history that matters to them is not forgotten.
Our project will focus on young people exploring the history and evolution of safe spaces for LGBTQ+ people in Southampton. Partnering with John Hansard Gallery (JHG), young people will create a history of LGBTQ+ in Southampton and create pieces for an exhibition at John Hansard Gallery from 22nd June-7th August 2027. The final creative piece will be a permanent marker in JHG.
