How do we tell and record our stories and our secrets? Nu McAdam (he/they) & Suchi Chatterjee (she/they) present to you ‘Your Lavender Life Part II: Secrets in the Woodwork’ with special guest Jane Traies. Jane Traies (she/her) local writer, researcher, storyteller, film maker, and oral historian has been recording the lives of queer people, uncovering and documenting untold stories. In this session Jane taught us about the fundamentals of Oral History, how to record it, asking the questions, getting consent, and how to navigate conversations about lives that may have remained secret for a long time. Jane then interviews Suchi Chatterjee and talks about her own Lavender Life, collected histories, archiving and the secrets that Brighton and Suchi has yet to reveal! 23 July 2026 at The Ledward Centre, Brighton Filmed by Lucy Lebrocq

Nu McAdam (he/they) & Suchi Chatterjee (she/they) presented ‘Your Lavender Life: Disability History, Activism & Intersectionality' at Daltons, Brighton on 23 March 2026. Featuring guest speaker Isaac Samuels OBE. At this event we talked about how important it is to archive personal queer and disabled histories in the local area. Recent years have taught us how much of our rights and autonomy is being taken away. In order to reverse this, a small step we can take is to keep our queer history safe. Filmed by Lucy Le Brocq
