In History is a Home, Trans Masc Studies creates an exhibition, reading room, and research space where visitors can explore queer history through a collection of ephemera and publications.

For the first time, Ellis Jackson Kroese of Trans Masc Studies presents their research alongside a hoard of alternative trans artefacts, a curated selection of books and zines, and a dedicated workspace for visitors’ own use. History is a Home pictures queer history as a place of belonging and connection, inviting transcestors past to inform and transform our present and future.
