OutStories Bristol’s highly successful ‘Revealing Stories’ exhibition is to be displayed in Bristol’s City Hall (formerly known as the Council House) from Monday 24 June to Thursday 11th July 2013. The display panels will appear as part of Bristol’s Celebrating Age Festival and then remain at City Hall for most of Bristol Pride week.

The exhibition is based on archival records and oral history interviews with lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people associated with Bristol and the surrounding area. Focusing on living memory (c. 1940s to the present) it tells how people fought to shape and control their own lives. It is the story of those who witnessed these changes and helped to make history.

Another chance if you missed it at M Shed!
