Love & Protest Stories of LGBTQ+ Women
The "From a Whisper to a Roar" project (2019-2020) collected reminiscences from lesbian, bisexual, and transwomen over a period of roughly fifty years – from the time of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967, when the focus was on men and the legal fight, to the modern day.
“I found my tribe”
I was commissioned by Opening Doors, a London based charity providing activities, events, information and support services specifically for LGBTQ+ people over 50. The brief was to bring to life this amazing project and the stories gathered. The main focus was on protest and women’s fight to be heard. My strong letterpress style fitted perfectly and I began creating hand held placards carrying quotes and messages taken from the interviews. We filled a gallery space with them for the launch event and also designed a newspaper and button badges which fitted into the ‘protest’ theme.
