Vulnerable and fierce, hilarious and heartbreaking, Festival favourite Queerstories celebrates the culture and creativity of the LGBTQIA+ community one true story at a time.

Each guest is invited to share the story they want to tell, but are never asked to; unexpected tales of pride, prejudice, resilience and resistance. Hear from feminist scholar Raewyn Connell, performance maker and music director Victoria Falconer, writer George Kemp, restauranteur and writer Steve MinOn and playwright and writer Sofi Oksanen. Hosted by Maeve Marsden.

An institution around the country, Queerstories has played to crowds big and small, from Mudgee to Murwillumbah, Albury to Adelaide, Brisbane and beyond, with an award-winning podcast featuring an archive of nearly 400 queer tales.
