Join us for an exclusive tour of the Bishopsgate Institute’s renowned LGBTQIA+ collections—normally £13, but we’re offering free access to this amazing experience for Queer Black & Global Majority individuals interested in participating in our Queer Global Heritage project!
This event is specifically designed for LGBTQ+ Black, Global Majority, and migrant participants, in line with our mission to preserve and celebrate the underrepresented stories and cultural heritage of these communities.
