Event description
Out and About! is a Bishopsgate Institute take-over of The Curve at the Barbican with an archive installation of objects, ephemera and media highlighting 40 moments and stories in London’s LGBTQ+ history.
Bishopsgate Institute has been collecting the lived experiences of everyday people for over a century, and their unique special collections and archives present the stories of individuals, collectives and organisations who fought for social, political, and cultural change.
