Queer Arts & Culture — The Art of Being Queer

Queer Arts & Culture — The Art of Being Queer

Culture, Creativity and the Freedom to Express Ourselves

Saturday 5 December 2026 | 3:00–3:45 pm

Venue: 2SER, Broadway, Ultimo
Speakers and facilitator: To Be Confirmed

Queer culture has always been an extraordinary expression of creativity, imagination, identity and the freedom to be ourselves.

From music, dance and performance to literature, visual arts, fashion, festivals and nightlife, LGBTQIA+ artists and cultural creators have helped shape Australia’s cultural landscape, challenged conventions and opened new possibilities for artistic expression.

As part of In Solidarity, The Art of Being Queer brings together creative voices to explore the relationship between queer identity, culture and artistic expression.

What inspires us to create? How does our lived experience influence the stories we tell, the images we make and the spaces we bring to life? What happens when creativity becomes a way of expressing who we are, connecting with others and imagining different futures?

This conversation celebrates the diversity and richness of queer cultural life, from the intimate and personal to the bold, provocative and spectacular.

We’ll explore how queer artists and cultural producers have created spaces for connection, celebration and belonging, while considering how new generations continue to reshape what queer culture looks, sounds and feels like.

Expect a conversation filled with ideas, imagination, humour and reflections on the freedom to create.

Join a small live audience for this engaging exchange, with opportunities for questions and participation.

The conversation will be recorded for subsequent broadcast on 2SER, extending these creative voices and perspectives to a wider audience.

Audience places are limited. Advance registration is encouraged.

Come along, be inspired, celebrate queer creativity and discover the art of being ourselves.
