  • In this episode of the Heard Storytelling podcast, we dive into Willem's journey of self-discovery from a challenging childhood to newfound acceptance in vibrant cities like NYC. Willem recorded his story as part of our Proud West End Exhibition, and we explore the reasons behind his decision to share it.

Set against the backdrop of the 1970s, a challenging time for the queer community, Willem's story sheds light on the significance of being seen and heard. We discuss how this era shaped his journey and the impact of public visibility through exhibitions like Proud West End.
