The Unstraight Conference was an event about queering museums that took place at the Museum of Liverpool on June 13th and 14th, 2014. I attended partly because of my involvement in Out Stories Bristol, and partly because I wanted to see the April Ashley exhibition that Liverpool was staging at the time. This podcast is a collection of short interviews with people I met at the event. They are:
- Janet Dugdale - Director of the Museum of Liverpool
- Gary Everett - Director of Homotopia
- Bev Ayre - Project Director for the April Ashley exhibition
- Jenny-Ann Bishop - a local trans activist
- Sara Davidmann - a photographic artist who works with trans people
- Surat Knan - Project Manager for Rainbow Jews
- Sarah Blackstock - Heritage Project Manager for LGBT Birmingham
- Michael Fürst - Schwules Museum*, Berlin
- Durk Dehner - Tom of Finland Foundation, Los Angeles
My thanks to all of them for their time.
