Tales of Our City

The audio recordings in this section have been collected by Tales of Our City’, a project aiming to create a conversation through time - using an audio and visual archive of Oxford’s queer community to look afresh at where we are now, how we came to be here and what future we want to build. The project has recorded the stories of several members of the local LGBTIQA+ community. They talk about the organisations and places at the heart of the community, from the 1970s to the present day.

These recordings represent only a small portion of local experiences and voices, and we know there are many gaps yet to be filled.

The 'Queer Spaces' video was recorded in a series of workshops run by MyNormal, commissioned by the Museum of Oxford for the 2019 exhibition.

The 'After the Disco' piece was recorded in a workshop run by the Young Women's Music Project and Transition by Design, commissioned by the Museum of Oxford for the 2019 exhibition.
