You deserve to share your story.
This project is inspired by the NYC Trans Oral History Project and shares their mission: “We work to confront the erasure of trans histories and document the experiences of trans people as intersecting with race and racism, poverty, disability, aging, housing, migration, HIV/AIDS, and sexism. Inspired by public history initiatives like the ACT/ UP Oral History Project, we believe oral history is a powerful tool for community organizing and anti-oppression work.”
Oral histories will be shared in writing, here, on snstvdude.com and sonically on Spotify. If you are interested in sharing your story, please fill out the form below.
What can I expect?
Interviews can be held anywhere most convenient for you, or will otherwise be scheduled in a secure conference room in Lawrence, KS. Interviews can last anywhere between 30 minutes and 3 hours depending on how long you’d like to talk. Interviewers come prepared with questions, but don’t be afraid to change topics during the interview or to suggest topics prior to the interview. Interviewers are interested in capturing your story as you’d like it to be told. Interviews will be conducted in audio and your interviewer will also ask you to submit a photograph of yourself, to be posted on the website along with your story.
You will be asked to sign a Release Form. By signing this form, you give copyright of the interview to SNSTVDUDE Productions so that it can be published online, and physically archived in the future. Interviews are posted under Creative Commons license, which makes them public domain.
