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)

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

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😉

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
‘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.
Explaining the aims of our project to our exciting group of participants today! #queermuseology
Ready for our second workshop on #queermuseology! Follow us for the day whilst imagine a queer museum space with museum professionals, activists and academics.
