Art galleries and exhibitions are truly magical spaces.

Tucked away in one of the booths, between the numerous depictions of the human form in all its variety, and the neon glow of Tracey Emin’s When I Think about Sex I Think about Men, Women Dogs, Lions, Group Sex (And I Love you All), Charlotte Prodger’s BRIDGIT has the potential to be overlooked.

In community learning, for practitioners I’d suggest there comes a moment when the decade you were educated in comes into sharp focus with the present.

Amongst the many preparations for the Coming Out exhibition, I have been hard at work creating a separate Gallery Trail .

Working in community engagement with arts, poignant and moving are words I encounter quite a bit.

It’s a rainy Thursday morning and I’m racing to get the coach to Liverpool! I’m in great company with some of our museum staff and members of two LGBT groups we have been working with – Unmuted and Ageing Better.
