"Tower of Strength" painted lyrics and name strips. Printed lyrics "Tower of Strength" and three bundles of small strips of paper with names on them donated at the Museum of Transology"s 8th Birthday & Trans Pride UK launch, held at the Triangle LGBTQIA+ Cultural Centre, Deptford, and Bishopsgate Institute (11-12 February 2023). The strips of paper record the names of trans people who died in 2021 and 2022. They were stuck to candles. The lyrics were sung by the choir at a vigil. Tag reads "The saddest part of these names is all of the unknowns, and not knowing if some are deadnames".Collection
