Queer-ways: From Archive to Artwork

There is alsoo charted the queer history of Mildura, Wodonga, Shepparton, Ballarat, Geelong and Daylesford to represent the often untold stories of regional Victoria's rainbow communities.

LUCIANO, in conversation with Gayathri Wijesekera, founder of design and marketing agency Rik and Ralph, will explore how Queer-ways prompts audiences to engage with physical spaces with a fresh perspective, unravelling the complex relationships between people, environment, and design.
