More coming soon! We are heading out on Friday June 23rd, 2023 for our first recording day to Dolores Park in San Francisco to record stories at the park and during the Trans march. Say howdy!
T4T: Gender-Expansive Oral Histories is a queer and trans, non-hierarchical, autonomous, community-based and volunteer-organized oral history project which aims to record, preserve, and celebrate queer and gender-expansive stories from folx of all ages and backgrounds, around the Bay Area and beyond.
This project would not exist without you, thank you for being here, and being queer! This project would not exist without the resilience, solidarity, love, strength, and support from our queer, trans, and gender-expansive community. Your participation in this project breathes life into and is a tile on the already-existing mosaic of stories by/for/and from the gender-expansive community. By sharing stories, we honor the lineages of our qt-ancestors, the folx, and stories that have always existed for millennia, despite oppressors attempting to silence us, negate our existence, and slaughter us for simply living. By sharing stories, memories, experiences, and non-verbal moments, we dismantle the systems that have attempted to erase us. By sharing stories, memories, experiences, and non-verbal moments, we are stronger each day, and together! If you know someone who would like to participate, especially youth and elders, please contact: t4toralhistories[AT]gmail[DOT]com

**By recording with T4T: Gender-Expansive Oral Histories, you understand that T4T DOES NOT “own” your story, this would be bananas! Your story is your story, and no one can ever “own” that.**
