NATIONAL DAY OF TRANS COLLECTING
The Museum of Transology is collaborating with Trans Pride UK to build local trans collections for local trans communities right across the UK and Ireland.
Wherever there’s a trans pride festival, there’ll be a transology collection.
If you’d like to have your voice saved in transcestry, all you need to do is turn up with your object to your local collection point. It’ll be a museum, a library or a queer bookshop.
We’ll give you a brown tag to write your story onto and show you how to archive your precious artefact in your own words.
Objects will be chosen from every trans pride collection to be included in the Museum of Transology’s 10 year anniversary exhibition in 2025. You can co-curate your object’s place in the exhibition in our free online UK-wide transology curation workshops.
Trans rights might be under attack, but we’re fighting back by protecting, saving and celebrating our culture for future genderations.
Donate your object to ensure we leave a legacy of trans joy for the future.
