Museum Zines

Zines and a Meeting!

For the Tales from the City trip, each young person was given a mini zine to fill in as they went around to pick out people, objects and places that were featured in the exhibition and which sparked an interest with them.

When we got back to the Comics Youth HQ, we sat around and shared which parts of the trip were most interesting to us. A common theme was how we were all really enthusiastic about the individual stories and anecdotes told by the different LGBTQ+ people in the exhibition, they were all local which made for a more interesting listen as the places and people mentioned were all recognisable and relatable.

We then started brainstorming questions that would be important to ask in the Here & Queer: Liverpool interviews. The majority of them related to what it was like being LGBTQ+ over the years and how Liverpools queer community has evolved.

Below are some pages taken from a collection of the zines and our H&Q question brainstorming!
