As we bid farewell to Gender Fluids by The Huxleys, we welcome a powerful new trio of exhibitions to the Pride Gallery. We are deeply grateful to The Huxleys for sharing their world with us – one dripping in sequins and colour.

The upcoming exhibitions – Top by Clem McNabb and Jet Dwyer, Don’t Be Too Polite by the Australian Queer Archives, and Scars // Stars by Ace Astrophel Hengel – each explore different facets of queer and trans identity, resilience, and activism.

• Top, a collaboration by Clem McNabb and Jet Dwyer depicts the experience of three friends as they navigate individual experiences with top surgery. The work explores the complexity of medically transitioning, and invites reflection on the complexities of body, self-expression and community.
• Don’t Be Too Polite: Feminist Posters and their Collectives highlights the vital contributions of Australian lesbian-feminist artists and print collectives over the past five decades, showcasing their roles in LGBTIQA+ activism and artistic expression.
• Scars // Stars, is a one-of-a-kind work that celebrates the beauty of identity, self-expression, and visibility within the Trans community.

Join Us for an Artist in Conversation Event

To mark the arrival of these thought-provoking exhibitions, we invite you to an Artist in Conversation event where you can hear directly from the artists behind these works. Join us for an engaging discussion about Top, Don’t Be Too Polite, and Scars // Stars, as the artists explore the themes of identity, activism, and artistic storytelling.
