Manchester Jewish Museum

Through a Queer Lens: Stories of LGBTQ+ Jews

Photographic portraits and personal stories explore the diversity, resilience and lived experiences of queer Jewish communities in the UK. This project, which was originally shown in 2016 at the Jewish Museum London, grew from a collaboration between photographer Ajamu and activist Surat-Shaan Knan. It has since been adapted to include testimonies from LGBTQ+ Jews with local connections to Manchester.
