Here, we celebrate and safeguard the vibrant and sometimes difficult memories of queer and trans* communities within and beyond transnational regimes of repression.

Through oral histories, art as expression, and powerful examples of diverse activism, this living archive is not only a space of memory, but also a space to foster inclusivity, respect, recognition, empowerment, and community.

Memories that Matter

Whether it's reminiscing about early LGBTQI+ spaces or recounting moments of resilience, your memories are what make our community thrive.

Oral Histories That Echo Through Time––Our commitment to preserving oral histories ensures that the voices of queer and trans individuals are etched into the fabric of our shared consciousness. We understand the power of storytelling and the importance of passing down knowledge from one generation to another. Our aim is to weave these threads into a rich tapestry, capturing the nuances and complexities of queer and trans* experiences.

Art That Inspires and Transcends––From vibrant paintings to thought-provoking installations, Queer & Trans Memories showcases the artistic prowess of queer and trans communities.

This space amplifies the voices of talented artists, providing a platform for their work to be celebrated, critiqued, and cherished.

Activism That Moves Mountains––At the heart of our collective is the determination to effect change. Queer and trans* activism has shaped society, caused ripples of progress, and challenged the status quo. Here, we honor trailblazers who are fighting for equality, justice, and liberation. We uplift the ongoing work of activists, recognizing the power of collective action in pushing the boundaries of acceptance and understanding.

Allies United in Solidarity––Queer and trans* communities have always been strengthened by the unwavering support of their allies. We stand together, encouraging solidarity and coalition-building across identities.
