QUEER: Stories from the NGV Collection shines a light on the NGV Collection to examine and reveal the queer stories works of art can tell. Gain insight into some of the stories, ideas and themes presented in this expansive exhibition through a series of conversations with the NGV curatorial team behind QUEER: Stories from the NGV Collection.

Curatorial Conversations will run over Saturday 19 March and Saturday 26 March as part of QUEER X Midsumma programming.

Activism – From community building to public action and the creation of artworks, queer people have long devised methods to work against systems of oppression and discrimination. Join exhibition co-curators Meg Slater and Ted Gott in conversation exploring artworks in QUEER: Stories from the NGV Collection that highlight pivotal moments in the long history of queer activism, and document community building, endurance and resistance.
