About Rainbow Pilgrims

Rainbow Pilgrims is a landmark project that discovers the ‘hidden history’ of LGBTQI migrants in the UK past and present. 

Rainbow Pilgrims explores the narratives around ‘rites and passages’. The project documents the interconnection between faith, sexuality, gender and ethnicity by using oral history, film and photography.

Rainbow Pilgrims culminates in a touring exhibition with pop-up events, a symposium, cutting-edge learning tools and an archive collection.

This collection will be the first source of LGBT and migration in a faith context in Britain.
