National day of trans collecting

M Shed is delighted to host a collecting event by the Museum of Transology in collaboration with Trans Pride UK. This is one in a series of events aiming to build local trans collections for local trans communities right across the UK and Ireland.

Everywhere there’s a trans pride festival, there will be a transology collection.

If you would like to have your voice saved in transcestry, turn up with your object to M Shed on Saturday 27 April between 12noon and 3pm.

We’ll give you a brown tag to write your story onto and show you how to archive your precious artefact in your own words.

Objects will be chosen from every trans pride collection to be included in the Museum of Transology’s 10 year anniversary exhibition in 2025. You can co-curate your object’s place in the exhibition on our free online UK-wide transology curation workshops.

Help to protect, save and celebrate trans culture for future genderations.

Donate your object to ensure we leave a legacy of trans joy for the future.
