Peace Museum shortlisted for award
'The Peace OUT project works with local LGBTQ+ communities in Bradford to co-create exhibitions and events.'
The Peace Museum has been shortlisted for an award for a project that works with local LGBTQ+ artists and campaigners.
The Bradford museum’s exhibition ‘Peace OUT’ has been selected for the Best Small Museum Project Award for The Museum Association’s Museums Change Lives Awards 2021.
The 2019 project developed into an online and travelling exhibition for 2021 and has been recognised alongside projects from The Scottish Crannog Centre and The Stirling Smith.
Charlotte Hall, curator at the Peace Museum, said: ‘The team are so thrilled to see Peace OUT being celebrated, and even more excited that the work of our collaborators in the local LGBTQ+ community is being recognised. We’ve been able to do so much to document under-celebrated histories throughout this project, and add content about such an important area of peacemaking to our collections.’
The Peace OUT project works with local LGBTQ+ communities in Bradford to co-create exhibitions and events. It explores peacemaking within the LGBTQ+ community and features the work of LGBTQ+ artists and campaigners.
The exhibition is on display at Bradford’s Bread and Roses Cooperative Café until 29 October and can be viewed online at peaceoutexhibition.com.
The Museum Association’s Museums Change Lives Awards 2021 celebrates the achievements of museums that are making a difference to the lives of their audiences and communities across the UK.
This year’s awards will take place in Liverpool on Monday 8 November.
