Freedom Exhibition Stories

Aug 27 2021

We’re celebrating true stories from the LGBTQ+ community with a free and accessible audio-visual installation in our garden.

The Freedom Exhibition, curated by Heard Storytelling consists of 11 ‘living portraits’ in our neighbourhood garden. The exhibition celebrates true stories told by LGBTQ+ people, who candidly share their lived experiences on this theme in a series of audio recordings to accompany beautifully shot portraits.

Kampus sits next to the famous Canal Street in Manchester’s Gay Village and we wanted to do something special for Pride. We believe that in order to be an authentic neighbour and ally to our community, first we must start by understanding people’s lived experiences. Listening is the greatest tool we have in order to develop understanding and deepen connections, which is why we are so proud to host this exhibition.

The gallery is free to enter and no booking required. It takes place from 26th August – 27th September. All you need is a smart phone and a set of headphones. If coming down in person isn’t possible you can hear all the stories below:
