The Hastings Queer History Collective
Community-led initiative preserving and sharing the LGBTQ+ history of Hastings.
About
The Collective formed in early 2020 to enhance the visibility of queer history embedded in Hastings Museum & Art Gallery’s collections and their aim is to create a more inclusive and accepting community for everyone.
In the summer of 2023 they began a new three year project, ‘Queer Stories of Hastings and St Leonards’ which will culminate in an exhibition at Hastings Museum and Art Gallery. The collective will be researching and collecting stories and artefacts about Hasting’s queer spaces and personal histories to bring the preserve our LGBTQIA+ history beyond the museum.
The collective is open to new members on an ongoing basis, whether you are an experienced historian, a skilled researcher, or just someone who is passionate about LGBTQIA+ history. Email Hannah to get involved or if you have any questions.
