Beyond salacious: Exploring LGBTQ+ themes with family/young audiences

Museums do amazing work in appealing to and representing wide and diverse audiences. However, there can be a danger of museums ‘othering’ their audiences—finding approaches that apparently work and sticking to them, when we have the opportunity to reflect community as a whole, in a more holistic way.

Join Sacha Coward and MGS in looking beyond the more usual ways of exploring LGBTQ+ narratives in our museums, and ensuring the stories we tell reflect the communities we live in and amongst.
