Tale of Men is a photography and storytelling project that shares personal and intimate stories of gay men. It started in 2017 by Chris Chi in Brussels, born out of his passion for photography and curiosity about humanity. By 2019 more than 200 stories have been collected and the number is still increasing. 4 Issues of tale of men magazines have been published. The main goal of the project is to create connections among people by listening to the storytellers’ life experiences.
