What you’re listening to is one of my favourite singers from my childhood. He used to have a show as well with the kids, and it would be so fun to watch. He is very inspirational and also, he is kind of doing this psychedelic music. He’s one of the fathers of psychedelic music, and meshing it with folk music, Turkish folk. I want to be a cloud. But not made of steam. I want to be a cloud of fluid. But not soft. I want to be a cloud flying and walking down at the same time. I want to be grounded, but I want my feet off the ground. I also want to be seen differently, but I don’t want to be seen unequally. I want to be welcomed with my contradictions. I want to be welcomed but also celebrated, and that’s kind of why you’re here. And that’s why I’m here. I will celebrate even when I’m feeling down and the days are not really going “wow!”, even if I'm depressed and doing my crochets, even if I don’t want to associate with other people and I just want to be left alone. I want everything to be possible, but without excluding, without making anyone sad. But also I don’t want to make myself sad or compromised. I want to sacrifice but also I don’t want to be consumed. And I feel sometimes I’m just living it, but then I don’t know what will come after. [Music continues playing] Welcome to my exhibition corner. Really great to see you. Thank you for listening to my voice.

Title A name given to the resource Lesbians Making History Collections Description An account of the resource The Lesbians Making History (LMH) collective came together in the mid-1980s and was inspired by oral history projects of gay lives coming out of Buffalo, Boston and San Francisco. The collective interviewed 9 women about their experiences as ‘out’ lesbians in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Collective members included: Rachel Epstein Maureen FitzGerald Amy Gottlieb Didi Khayatt Mary Louise Noble Lorie Rotenberg Some of the women interviewed also appeared in Aerlyn Weissman and Lynne Fernie’s NFB-funded documentary Forbidden Love: The Unashamed Stories of Lesbian Lives. The 1992 film was out of print for many years until 2014, when the National Film Board released it in digital format. Although the organizers of Lesbians Making History were committed to keeping the project a community-based initiative, and not one rooted in academic pursuit, they allowed Elise Chenier, now a professor at Simon Fraser University, to use the transcripts of the interviews for her MA thesis. Chenier’s work on lesbian bar culture in the 1950s and 60s is widely taught in Canadian universities. Interview material was also used by Cameron Duder and by Gary Kinsman and Patrizia Gentile. In 2014 the original audio tapes were given to the CLGA via the LGBTQ Digital Oral History Collaboratory, a multi-institutional research project led by University of Toronto professor Elspeth Brown and funded by a 5-year SSRHC Insight grant. Embedded at the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives (CLGA), Collaboratory members digitized LMH materials and created new verbatim transcriptions. Original LHM collective members assisted with editing transcripts, identifying key words and writing abstracts for each oral history interview.

Examples include a music playback file format, an audio compact disc, and recorded speech or sounds. Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound A soft, full-colour portrait of me standing quietly among the tender, reaching limbs of a willow tree. The leaves cascade around me in delicate strands, like nature’s own curtain, parting just enough for me to be witnessed. The filtered light falls through the greenery, catching on my skin in warm, scattered patterns, as though the day itself is reaching for me. Some leaves frame my face while others blur gently into the foreground, creating the feeling of a dream. I face the camera with a slight turn of my body, and my gaze is both soft and searching. My curly hair, slightly tousled by wind and routine, and my gold septum ring catches the light, glimmering. I am wearing an earth-toned shirt, layered with a dark jacket, my lips resting on the edge of a smile. At this moment, I don’t have to explain my gender, my softness, my strength, my ancestry, or my ache. Everything I carry is held by the branches and the light.
