FOOTPRINTS OF LGBTQIA+ HUMANS: Open Call

Cameye Arts is creating a living archive of LGBTQIA+ humans, places and spaces in the borough of Newham for Newham History Month 2024.

We would love to speak with people of all ages and backgrounds. All are welcome. If you have any stories, memories, leads or ephemera to share then please get in touch with us.
