SUMMARY:Into the Light
DESCRIPTION:The Melbourne Rainbow Band presents the first of two art concerts\, “Into the Light”. \nOpposites so often fit together. Seemingly the most obvious of opposites\, light and dark create one another through their very essence. The impact of each\, however\, is often the same. Into the Light is an exploration of light- the photons\, the colour\, the sun\, the mood\, the hope\, but also the crushing intensity and terror that light can bring. \nFeaturing incredible sweeping musical scores\, a performance from Artistic Director and international horn soloist\, Brian KM\, and stirring visual art by Jackson Fumberger\, this is an event not to be missed. \nExperience this performance in the stunning light filled interior of the Victorian Pride Centre.

SUMMARY:Queer Social: Kokedama Moss Balls with Maria
DESCRIPTION:Kokedama is an ancient Japanese botanical art like bonsai or ikebana art. The word ‘Kokedama’ means ‘moss ball’ in Japanese as they are plants living in freestanding balls of moss-covered soil instead of pots.

On top of everything\, plants are fantastic for mental wellbeing!  \nIn this class\, we will learn how to make them\, decorate them with colourful strings for all pride flags and take then home to brighten our lives.  \n  \nThis event will be half social chats with a bunch of likeminded queer people and half fun\, educational and interactive workshop.

SUMMARY:Melbourne Design Week - Queer Cities
DESCRIPTION:Queer Cities is an exhibition aimed at addressing issues of LGBTIQA+ inclusion through spatial interventions that preserve queer heritage—past\, present and future. Visualising LGBTIQA+ visibility in public space is an important factor in making urban environments feel more inclusive. Recognition of the presence of queer people and their heritage in public space not only means that LGBTIQA+ people see themselves represented\, making diversity visible helps public spaces become more accessible for other marginalised groups. This exhibition surfaces the voices of LGBTIQA+ and gender diverse people to recognise and celebrate queer lived experience\, narratives and histories specific to public spaces and commemorate these stories through a spatial intervention. This will take the form of intersecting shapes\, colours and symbols that can be manipulated by the viewing public to communicate their own stories—as queer people or queer allies—and in so doing build a visible presence of the LGBTIQA+ community in Melbourne
