The Polari Wunderkammer -Personal Archiving workshops
11th and 18th of May 2013 10.30 – 4.00 pm
Have you ever wondered why you keep some of the ‘stuff’ that you have? Programmes for half – remembered plays, bills for long – forgotten meals, receipts for long rail journeys, or tickets for forgotten films….? A photograph of….. who WAS that? What makes us decide to keep some things, and throw others away. Of the ‘stuff’ that we keep, on purpose or by accident, how does it tell our story?
As part of the ongoing Polari Mission, artists Jez Dolan and Joseph Richardson are looking to recruit LGBT people (of all ages) to bring some of their own personal archive to a session at Manchester’s beautiful and historic John Rylands Library to participate in a one – day workshop led by the artists

Matilda 13:32 Which indeed is the nanti dowriest of all marias: but when it is grown, it is the dowriest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air troll and lodge in the branches thereof.

5 She shall not bow down herself to them, nishta serve them: for I the Duchess thy Gloria am a jealous Gloria, visiting the codness of the aunties upon the chavvies unto the third and quarter generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto milles of them that love me, and keep my butch lavs.
7 She shan't lell the name of the Duchess thy Gloria in vain; for the Duchess will not hold her guiltless that lelleth his name in vain.

Together we will look at our own, and each other’s archives to look at the hidden stories which form an important part of our shared LGBT heritage.
Far removed from ancient priceless documents, which sit stored, rarely to be seen, we encourage you to come and share your own stories, and your own personal journey through your accumulated ‘stuff’ that until now you didn’t think mattered. This is a unique opportunity to take part in curating a significant exhibition in one of Manchester’s key cultural landmarks.
Elements of personal archives created may be exhibited as part of the forthcoming exhibition The Polari Mission August 2013 – February 2014 at the John Rylands (University of Manchester) Library. Participants need not be credited or named if they would rather remain anonymous. All personal material will be treated in the strictest confidence, and in museum archive conditions.
Places are free, but are strictly limited, and must be booked by calling The John Rylands Library on: 0161 306 0555 or by email to: jrul.events@manchester.ac.uk

An opportunity to meet the artists for a bona bijou troll through the fantabulosa history of Polari; learn the basics and get involved with saving a dying language!
Booking is essential! Please contact the library on: 0161 306 0555 or email: jrul.events@manchester.ac.uk

Artists Jez Dolan and Joseph Richardson are launching a mission to save Polari, one of the world’s most endangered languages, a bold yet secretive part of Gay history. Join the artists for a bona bijou troll through the fantabulosa history of Polari, learn the basics, and get involved with recording and saving a dying language!
The project uses Polari as a starting point to examine how contemporary LGBT groups and individuals view, understand, appreciate, utilise, or see reflected in their own ‘communities of language’ the influence of Polari, and its impact on how we communicate today. The project will produce a series of exhibitions, performances, visual artwork and audience participation.
Polari Mission is a multi-disciplinary collaboration between the artists and specialists in the fields of linguistics and computer science including Professor Paul Baker (Lancaster University) & Tim Greening-Jackson.
'Polari was a secret form of language used mainly by gay men, lesbians and people who worked in the theatre. It was most often used in London and other UK cities with a gay sub-culture, and was popular between the 1930s and 1960s. It was introduced to a wider audience through a 1960s comedy radio program called Round The Horne. Apart from a few familiar words, it is hardly known today.'
Professor Paul Baker (Lancaster University)
