The Love Letters Hotline & Audio Tour is a project initiated by the Office of Queer Affairs (OoQA) in the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven that explores the extent by which a collective, local, queer voice can both literally and figuratively intervene on the museum's collection presentation ''(2021 - 2026).'' | |||
The project consists of a community-built, semi-conversational, always-in-the-making interactive audio tour that is co-built by members of the Office of Queer Affairs (OoQA) and Eindhoven's local queer community. | |||

We departed from a selection of 12 artworks and annotated them with personal ads inspired by the 90's "On Our Backs"-style lesbian personals. These ads are written from the "POV of the artwork" and can be found dispersed in the exhibition space and in the audio tour. | |||
