PINKBRICK project

Over the past 40 years the political and societal attitudes towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people have changed beyond recognition. Developed in 2012, The PINKBRICK project charts these changes from the University's perspective, by looking at official University and Guild records, along with memories of past staff and students.

This project originally accompanied an exhibition at the Victoria Gallery & Museum from 21 February to 19 May 2012. This has been achieved by the dedicated campaigning of LGBTQIA+ individuals and straight allies who have tirelessly worked to achieve equality for all.
