Uncatalogued
Queer Places, TReasured and Homotopia Festival present Uncatalogued - an exhibition celebrating the living heritage of Liverpool’s LGBTQIA+ communities.
Hosted at Liverpool Central Library, Uncatalogued reimagines what an archive can be - not just a collection of documents, but a living, growing record of queer lives, places, and memories that often go unrecorded in official archives.
The exhibition brings together records, personal memories, artworks, and literature collected by TReasured and Queer Places, exploring how we hold onto our shared past when the systems meant to preserve it have looked the other way.
Part of the Queer Places Heritage Trail, Uncatalogued honours the everyday sites of queer experience - homes, streets, clubs, and libraries - as vital archives of identity, protest, and belonging.
