Inspired by the exhibition No Place like Home and the museum's permanent displays, Write Queer London and the Jewish Museum invites you to explore the way objects inform our personal histories and create an LGBT history of now.

Objects tell stories. Objects are prompts for poems, short fiction, novels, and memoirs. They tell personal stories, family stories, stories about our communities, our faith, and our lovers. Some objects are lost, even if the stories are still remembered, and some objects we carry with us. Some objects we put on our shelves, at our bedsides, or we keep in boxes tucked away.

In this final event of Write Queer London this year, writer Shaun Levin invites you to share stories of objects relating to queerdom. Bring along a personal object of your choice - it could be something prosaic or magnficent, mass produced or personal. We'll be photographing everything and use the stories to put together a History of Us to go on the untoldLondon website.

Listen to writers telling stories about the objects that changed their lives and listen to stories created in our Objects of Love and Desire Creative Writing Workshop (click 'preview' for a free peek).
