FEAST ON...

Queer Archive Collective SA

Queer Archive Roadshow

What treasures do you have that connect you with LGBTIQA+ life in South Australia?

Have you been keeping queer history under the bed, in boxes in the garage, at your parents’ place, or in a shed that could leak? Ever wondered how to keep it safe and accessible for future generations?

You're invited to bring photos, posters, badges, publicity, T-shirts, objects, newspapers, magazines, and items that are precious to you, and we'll talk about their queer stories.

Come and listen to others, share your stories, shape the archive, and be inspired.

This event is the first step in establishing a community-led queer archive in SA to collect, preserve, and celebrate South Australia's queer histories.

The queer archive will make sure that the history of SA's LGBTIQA+ communities won't be lost. There will be records of who we are, our lives, loves, passions, what we have created, our struggles, and our achievements.

This event is presented by the Queer Archive Collective SA, a newly-formed group passionate about LGBTIQA+ community, history, archiving, and establishing a permanent SA Queer Archive
