GUIDE
exhibition celebrating the
history, heritage and
personal stories of the
transgender community in
the West Midlands is
currently open at the
Birmingham Museum & Art
Gallery. Through compelling
sound, photos, video,
artwork, poetry and
artefacts, ‘Mapping my
Journey’ brings to life the
places, events and personal
journeys - for some decisive
and swift but for others
spanning decades - which
make up the heritage of the
West Midlands’ Transgender
community. Members of the
transgender community
worked alongside
professional researchers to
collect and preserve these
hidden histories. ∎
The exhibition is free and runs till
the 16th March 2014 in the
Community Gallery.
