Hear Us Out, an arts project run by New Writing South, is to return with a second programme of participatory activities celebrating older LGBTQ+ people’s stories.Since its inception in 2018, Hear Us Out has worked with a community collective of LGBTQ+ volunteers to collect the funny, touching and celebratory real-life stories of older LGBTQ+ people across south east England.
Working with a company of local LGBTQ+ performers, these stories were turned into a series of digital performances as part of an online programme of events at the end of 2020.This year, Hear Us Out will be offering more storytelling and performance opportunities alongside two new book clubs from March until May.
