Voice Less Heard project
Throughout October, we'll be continuing our work on the Voice Less Heard project. This project is all about exploring the stories of groups and communities who are less known in histories of Kingston. We'll be conducting research and oral history interviews to uncover these important narratives, which will culminate in an exhibition at Market Hall in November.
