‘Opening the Closet Doors’ is an art and film project that was created and developed by artist Sarah Li.
Working with local LGBTQ+ adults the project referenced the archives of the Darlington Hippodrome they explored these amazing archives with the incredible and very knowledgeable historian James Davison to uncover LGBTQ+ histories, stories, shows and performers.
Narratives and inspirations from the project were developed into creative responses that were exhibited at the Darlington Hippodrome in August 2022 and are available to view in an online exhibition.
