Queer PHOTO - Midsumma Festival 2024

Queer PHOTO - Talk: Our History in the West with The Queer Archives

Have you ever wondered what it was like to be a queer person hanging out in Naarm 40 or 50 years ago? Well, now you can find out! This super interesting talk from the legends at The Australian Queer Archives (AQuA's) will take you through a photo tour of Melbourne's west throughout the 70s and 80s. You will get to see snaps of queer life - from event photography to Gayskate, the iconic queer skating event held in Footscray and Sunshine in the early 1980s. Feel free to bring a note-taking device or just yourself and come for a queer history lesson!
