Becoming Visible

Our very first collective venture was our inaugural exhibition 'Becoming Visible', which ran from November 2002 to January 2003 at the Glasgow LGBT Centre. Some of the background to the exhibition is given in an article published in CentrePoint in September 2002:
Our Stories Our Selves

In the same issue Jim Campbell contributed an article on the forthcoming exhibition, 'Becoming Visible: An Exhibition on the Social History of the Glasgow LGBT Community', while a later article, published in March 2003, gave an account of:
Becoming Visible: Setting Up the LGBT Archive Exhibition

Work by participants on the Becoming Visible exhibition can be seen in a selection of photos taken by Ian Strang during the preparations:

Feedback on the exhibition was highly positive, and you can read the entries in the comments book.

Ian Strang photographed the whole exhibition to enable a virtual tour, by clicking on each picture or area of a picture to enter into greater depth:
