Be You at The Bowes is the first LGBTQIA+ working group of its kind at the Museum. The group is coming together to open discussions about identity, gender and representations of the body within the picture gallery space, as well as uncovering items within the collection that capture something about LGBTQIA+ histories.
The working group is dedicated to co-producing content, teaming up with regional partners and working as a community to learn from one another and grow together. They will be meeting every other Friday (see below for dates) from 1:00-3:00 in The Hive on the first floor of the Museum.
This working group is free to attend.
If you are interested in contributing to the Be You at The Bowes project or you have an object in the collection that you would like us to investigate, please contact the Museum via learning@thebowesmuseum.org.uk
