Our illustrated project report describes our arts-research collaboration process and the various stages of engagement with participants, partners, and communities. We describe some of our key achievements, outputs and outcomes, and reflect on the impact of the project on LGBTQIA+ people, organisations, and activism in the South West. We also suggest some next steps and recommendations for future LGBTQIA+/arts-research collaborations, particularly partnerships between universities and theatres.
