Event overview
In conversation with Joseph Galliano-Doig, Director of Queer Britain, and Gerard Koskovich, a founder of the GLBT Historical Society, San Francisco.
Preserving, celebrating and sharing LGBTQ+ histories is both necessary and urgent. But what is the best way to do so, and what challenges do queer museums face in addressing the needs of queer people while also curating a space to share our stories with wider audiences?
At this exceptional international event, we will be joined in person by Joseph Galliano-Doig (He/Him), Director and Co-Founder of Queer Britain, the UK's national LGBTQ+ museum, and Gerard Koskovich (He/Him), a founding member of San Francisco's GLBT Historical Society.
