Send us a textIn this compelling episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast, Angela Nicholson talks with photographer Roman Manfredi, whose work shines a light on underrepresented communities through the art of film photography. With a career that initially began at 16 as a darkroom assistant, but with many years away from the industry, Roman has developed a unique, impactful style that focuses on marginalised voices, particularly within working-class and LGBTQ+ communities. Their project We/Us, which portrays the butch and stud lesbian community in the UK, emerged from Roman's realisation of the lack of British representation of these identities. Now archived in the Bishopsgate Institute, We/Us is a significant contribution to preserving LGBTQ+ narratives for future generations.Throughout the episode, Roman shares how film photography is not only their chosen medium but also a powerful tool for activism. Roman explains their choice of film as a conscious decision to embrace authenticity and imperfection, giving each photograph a rawness that digital media struggles to replicate. For Roman, film is not just a nostalgic art form; it's a way to slow down, connect deeply with each subject and tell stories that capture genuine moments and emotions. This method fosters a slower, more intentional approach to photography that aligns with Roman's mission to document the real, often unseen lives of individuals and communities.Roman also discusses their latest project, Fair Play, a documentary series capturing the women's and non-binary development and reserve teams of the Clapton Community Football Club. This project, like much of their work, is an honest portrayal of strength and camaraderie within community sports. Roman's dedication to preserving authenticity is apparent as they discuss the challenges and joys of capturing the essence of each subject, choosing black-and-white film to highlight the depth and grit of their experiences.Whether you're a seasoned photographer or new to the art, this episode offers an inspiring look at how photography can amplify voices and document stories often left untold. Roman's passion for film, their commitment to representation and their deep connection to visual storytelling make this a must-listen episode for anyone interested in the power of photography to drive social change.TakeawaysThe transition from digital to film photography was a significant turning point for RomanThe constraints of film photography can foster a deeper connection to the work.The project *We/Us* was born out of a need for representation in the queer communityIt's  important to archive work for future generationsSupport and mentorship can play a crucial role in their creative journey.Opportunities like the 70:15:40 project can be transformative.Aspiring photographers should apply for as many opportunities as possibleCreative themes can develop organically from personal experiencesImposter syndrome is common but can be an opportunity for growthBuilding connections with subjects is crucial for impactful photography Connect with RomanWebsiteInstagramMPBThis podcast is supported by MPB, the world's largest platform for used photography and videography kit.

On the 27th October 2023, the team behind We Were Always Here held a live event at the Bishopsgate Institute in London. We had collected hundreds of hours of interviews from over 50 people during the making of the podcast and decided to donate all of the audio and transcipts to the Queer Archives at the Bishopsgate Institute so that these stories would no longer be left out of the telling of the UK HIV Epidemic history.  This evening was in celebration of that donation but also to ensure the conversation around HIV is ongoing.  This event featured Marc Thompson, Sophie Strachen and Angelina Namiba and was chaired by the podcast's producer, Hana Walker-Brown.

Graeme catches up with the chair of SWITCHBOARD and host of The Log Books podcast, Natasha Walker for the start of LGBT history month. The Log Books are an award-winning history of LGBTQ+ life in Britain as noted by volunteers at Switchboard. As a helpline for anyone who wants to talk about gender identity and sexuality, Switchboard has been hearing about, and helping, queer life since 1974. Now held in the archive at the Bishopsgate Institute, the volunteers' log books offer a unique insight into the range of issues facing LGBTQ+ people in Britain in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Stories range from police entrapping gay men meeting for sex in toilets, to women losing custody of their children for being lesbians, to people kicked out of pubs for wearing pro-gay badges and to those struggling with their gender identity before anyone had the right language to help them. The log books laugh and cry with the real lives of runaways and disco-dancers, with isolated fishermen phoning to chat and people unsure about how to have sex. The logbooks podcast is an award winning project showcasing the UK's untold LGBTQ+ history and Natasha is cohost and Producer. Here she chat's about the Logbooks, giving us an insight into the UK's social history that isn't often seen. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/outcastuk/message

In the 90s, if two men had sex and one was under 21, both could be imprisoned, while straight people could legally have sex at age 16.

This is the story of their campaign to equalise the law, and of the Switchboard volunteers who helped.

After a gay bookshop was raided by customs officers in 1984, the booksellers fought back. This is the story of censorship and community solidarity, and it is not the only one in this episode. Tash and Adam explore the actions of the British state to stop people from seeing things that were considered obscene in the 80s. We also feature a story from people whose magazines and posters were seized, and Adam even sings a song.The Log Books — stories from Britain's LGBT+ history and conversations about being queer today.

In 1988 the British government passed explicitly anti-gay legislation. Through log book entries from Switchboard, Tash and Adam return to the scene: lawmakers spaffing about what constitutes a family, gay teachers zipping up and living in fear, and bewildered young people with seemingly nowhere to turn to for advice. This episode is filled with untold stories about Section 28 of the Local Government Act and the censorship of LGBTQ+ lives — and concludes with the joyous launch of a new kids' book by Olly Pike called Kenny Lives With Erica and Martina.Content warning: attacks on LGBTQ+ people, including language that some people may find offensive.The Log Books — stories from Britain's LGBT+ history and conversations about being queer today.

Every time anything to do with LGBTQ+ life was mentioned on TV or in the newspaper in the 80s, Switchboard volunteers took extra calls. In this episode, Tash and Adam speak to the people behind TV programmes and newspaper columns, and hear about the feverish atmosphere that led to anti-gay legislation in 1988. The section on today has two very special guests: our very own Shivani Dave, and Simon McCallum from the BFI National Archive, both comparing the media today with 1983 to 1991.Content warning: some archaic language that some listeners may find offensive as our contributors discuss how language was used to attack people especially in the media.The Log Books — stories from Britain's LGBT+ history and conversations about being queer today.

Bottling attacks and cruel newspaper editorials — this is the story of how the HIV/AIDS crisis hit the LGBTQ+ community in the 80s.

This is the story of the early years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic as it has never been told before: through the voices and notes of the people who took phone calls made to an LGBTQ+ helpline. From 1983 to 1991, Switchboard volunteers supported people living with HIV, their loved ones, and people scared of it. In the first of three special episodes that start Season Two of The Log Books, Tash and Adam hear from survivors, a nurse and a doctor, and the people who were among the first to tackle what became a crisis.Content warning: Illness, death, and ill-treatment and discrimination of people living with HIV and AIDS.The Log Books — stories from Britain's LGBT+ history and conversations about being queer today.
