Dundee Storytelling with OurStory Scotland

This event, to celebrate LGBT History Month in Dundee, will provide the opportunity to share some stories, tell some tales, listen to episodes in our history, and exchange ideas for further storytelling events this year. And if you have any old photographs or items that evoke our queer past, bring them along too. The event is organised by OurStory Scotland, a recognised Scottish charity devoted to collecting, archiving and presenting the stories of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in Scotland. You may just want to listen, or you may want to tell, but just by being there you’ll be sharing in all our stories.
