Artists, writers, musicians, performers and comedians come together to invent and challenge utopian visions for a queer future. At this storytelling event celebrating the NGV’s QUEER: Stories from the NGV Collection exhibition, queer icons share personal stories and reflect on the unconscious optimism of dreams and the playfulness of reverie to consider what the future might hold for queer individuals and communities.
Join us to hear reflections, performances and stories from Courtney Act, Claire G. Coleman, Nayuka Gorrie, Patricia Karvelas, Luke King, Lee Pennefather, William Yang, Paul Yore and Nevo Zisin. Hosted by beloved diva Mama Alto, this event will also feature a special video message from none other than queer icon Jonathan van Ness.
From 5.30PM, our friends at Four Pillars Gin will provide a complimentary drink on arrival, and you can explore QUEER: Stories from the NGV Collection with exclusive after-hours access before the evening of storytelling begins at 7.00PM.
Presented by The Wheeler Centre and National Gallery of Victoria
