The Quilt
By Aunt Nell
The Quilt: Living memories of queer Britain & Northern Ireland
An audio exhibition open to anyone, anywhere, at any time of day, produced and hosted by Tash Walker and Adam Zmith.
Born from a collaboration between the producers of the award-winning podcast The Log Books and the UK’s first and only LGBTQ+ museum Queer Britain, The Quilt challenges who and what makes queer history.
The series takes the listener on a journey across the UK, collecting queer memories, from queer people. The Quilt weaves together all these stories and histories, into a beautiful documentary patchwork series.
The Quilt is an audio archive for the future.
Episode transcripts available here.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
