Queer(y)ing Museums BC Jewish Queer & Trans Oral History Project

For the third episode of Queer(y)ing Museums, we were thrilled to have Carmel Tanaka, founder and Executive Director of JQT Vancouver, and Alysa Rutenberg, Archivist at the Jewish Museum & Archives of BC, join us to chat about the BC Jewish Queer and Trans Oral History Project.

In part one of this two-part episode, Carmel and Alysa discuss the intergenerational and community engagement aspects of their project, advice for other institutions/organizations who might be interested in engaging in similar work, and more.

In part two of this two-part episode, Carmel and Alysa discuss the impacts of COVID-19 on the Oral History Project, and on JQT’s process of becoming a nonprofit.
