Team Tourus
About
We are the team behind Tourus, a self-guided audio tour platform built to foreground feminist, queer and global majority perspectives. Frustrated by how often cultural spaces default to a narrow, heterosexual, white, male narrative, we created Tourus to open up space for other voices and other ways of seeing. While developing the platform, we researched, wrote and produced several tours ourselves — early prototypes that shaped Tourus’s critical, research-driven approach. These tours now sit alongside work from a growing community of creators, all contributing to a more expansive, inclusive way of exploring culture.
