Queeriosity at Science Gallery

DID SOMEBODY SAY ... GAYLLERY? 

Join Minus18 and your LGBTQIA+ youth community these school holidays at Melbourne's Science Gallery for an afternoon of curiosity, exploring amazing exhibitions, and loads of queer excellence! Wander through the EXCLUSIVE NOT-NATURAL exhibition (while the gallery's closed to the public!), and explore concepts of nature, synthetic biology and cultural perception. 

BUT WAIT! This wouldn't be a Minus18 event without drag performers, DJs, music, and loads of opportunities to make new friends. Come with pals, come solo – there'll be activity hubs throughout the event!
