Episode 11: Queer Histories

In this episode, Sophie is joined by Robert White and Kelly Boddington, two early participants of the workforce development programme at Royal Pavilion & Museums, who spearheaded LGBTQ+ interpretation in its current form across the organisation. Kelly, who works by day as Assistant Buyer in the Retail team and Rob, a Marketing Support Officer and Booking Office Assistant, worked together to create Brighton Museum’s first LGBTQ trail back in 2014. Both speak about their role as change agents working from below, pushing forward a radical spirit across the museum services’ exhibitions and events through their focus on Queer history and engagement with local LGBTQ+ communities.
