DIY History Workshop – Trans London
An introduction the project, with a particular focus on history gathering within the community and how stigma affects the lives of those who are part of the community, and what methods and tools we can use to document our own at-risk histories. This event featured volunteer readers, who read archival material from past community events. There were then readings of the contemporary histories produced as part of the Resilient and Resisting project and discussion on methods and ethics in recording histories.
