New guide on Interpreting Transgender Stories in Museums and Cultural Heritage Institutions

Transgender and gender-nonconforming people deserve dignified and respectful representation of their lives and communities in museums and cultural institutions. The AAM Task Force for Transgender inclusion has developed a new guide on Interpreting Transgender Stories to recognise and address the marginalization of transgender identities throughout history, and the politicisation of transgender identity in the twenty-first century.

Explore a new guide on Interpreting Transgender Stories in Museums and Cultural Heritage Institutions, created by the AAM LGBTQ+ Alliance and its Task Force for Transgender Inclusion. This new resource aims to promote respectful representations of transgender history and culture in exhibitions and programmes, creating more welcoming spaces for LGBTQ+ audiences. With examples and additional resources, it can help you navigate gathering internal support, using appropriate terminology, and responding to community feedback.
