We are building a traveling exhibit!

To celebrate our 11 years of oral storytelling and LGBTQIA+ history gatherings, we are taking TQH on the road. From February through June 2025, you will be able to visit our traveling exhibit in Red Wing, Duluth, Marshall, Moorhead, and Minneapolis. We Live On: Stories of Radical Connection will uplift stories from our archives, newly enriched with historical context, and will unveil many new stories that uplift queer and trans voices that are often pushed out of the margins.

Share a gift with us today to support building this exhibit and preparing our archives to be shared with major institutions including the Tretter Collection and Minnesota Historical Society.

Telling Queer History is a series of storytelling gatherings that connect LGBTQ+ people across generations and identities.

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we are offering a mix of outdoor in-person events and virtual events.

Gatherings are donation based, all-ages, substance-free, ASL-interpreted, and include free food when we can meet in person. Each themed gathering has up to four featured storytellers. We build in space for you to share your own stories around the theme, and in that way, weave our individual histories into a collective history.
