What are your favorite examples of museum labels that dance around queerness, using euphemisms and coded language to avoid words like lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender? Share pics!

What’s in a queer museum tour I hear you ask? @DanNouveau’s criteria - an object with a: - queer creator - queer subject or - queer eye (identified as significant with/by/for the queer community) #museumideas

Lovely opening for @Queer_Britain's new photograpic exhibition 'Capturing the Rainbow' at BBC Television Centre in collaboration with @MCSaatchiLondon & @GettyImages, displaying beautiful queer moments from British history #queerhistory

Decolonisation thread: we as a collective movement, through various members have added to, uncovered and advocated for the nuanced and difficult telling of the whole truth to the story of empire; it's legacy embedded in society not least museums. #TheEmpireGivesBack #MuseumDetox

LETS HELP @FanLiangyu on researching LGBT+ museum events by exploring it’s benefits to our community. Check it out and share your voices and build up their work with your experiences. 🙌✨🌈🏛
The dissertation is about how storytelling in the LGBTQ museum events deliver knowledge and emotional benefits to the LGBTQ community 🌈. It would be great if you could support my dissertation! Thank you😉 @V_and_A @ceremonydesign @britishmuseum @Queer_Britain @queerseum
@jackshoulder @ellietheelement Thank you both!
And an overview of our final results! We would love to hear from you, what do you think a queer museum could look (or feel) like? Feel free to digitally add on any of these questions by replying to this tweet or sending us a DM! #queermuseology
‘Breaking down traditional + oppressive practices’ as an opportunity to our question ‘how should museums work with artists, activists and communities to queer their practice?’. #queermuseology
‘What X means to you rather than wat X is’ on different labeling. Here are the results to our question ‘Which practices need to change or transform to ‘queer’ a museum space?’. #queermuseology
‘Remembering together - differently’. Plenty of ideas on our question ‘How should LGBTQIA+ stories & communities be included in the space?’ #queermuseology
@queerseum Exciting news! We are uploading the results from yesterday right now and you can reach us at [email protected] for more information. Would have loved to have you with us yesterday @damienarness! 😊
‘Acknowledging gaps and silences as well as possibilities’. The results from our workshop on the question: what could a queer museum look (or feel) like? #queermuseology
So many interesting results to the question ‘what could a queer museum look (or feel) like’! We’ll upload some clear pictures soon, as well as results to our other questions on #queermuseology.
