Vulnerable and fierce, hilarious and heartbreaking, Queerstories celebrates the culture and creativity of the Shoalhaven 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.

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.

This event is part of Bundanon’s program of live events for current exhibition Tales of Land and Sea.
