Workshop: Archiving Personal Queer Stories

Framer Framed invites members of the queer community for an archiving workshop hosted by researcher Leyla Sünnenwold. The workshop participants gather their stories and those of queer people near them in a personal archive.

We are sorry to have to inform you this event is fully booked.

It is often unrecognised how valuable the everyday collective and personal experiences of queer people are. Often, queer histories are also not well documented. What does a specific medical care process look like for a trans person? Which people and places are remembered only in anecdotes and otherwise disappear? How do queer friendships change in the context of rising non-monogamy? Insights into what it means to be a queer person today can be found in everyday objects and stories that can be archived – if not for ourselves or descendants to remember then possibly for future institutional archives.

This workshop is intended to provide participants with impulses to start their own archive through various methodologies and to transform memories and knowledges into coherent narratives and objects. Participants can bring artifacts and memories that are important to them and are welcome to register with or without an idea of where to start.

After the workshop, participants are welcome to stay for the Queer Open Stage!
