<div dir="ltr"><div><b>BCMA Workshop - How to: Queer Your Historic House with Indigo Dunphy-Smith<br>Tuesday, November 4 & 25, 2025 10:00 - 11:00 am PT</b></div><br>What hidden queer stories might be hiding in your collection? Australian researcher and heritage professional Indigo Dunphy-Smith, now based in Scotland, invites you on a journey of curiosity and possibility with her toolkit How to: Queer Your Historic House. This playful, practical approach shows how queering history doesn’t require new acquisitions or big budgets, it works with what you already have. <br><br>This two-part session begins with an introduction to the toolkit and a case study that shows how it can be put into practice, opening up fresh ways of seeing and interpreting history. The second session is hands-on: bring along an object or story from your own collection that might hold queer meaning, and together we’ll explore how to apply these methods across different contexts.<br><br><b>Allies are welcome! </b>From Australia, to Scotland, to Canada, this is an opportunity to experiment, reframe, and spark more inclusive conversations about the past.
