Panel discussion: Living Queer Histories

Author: ACCA (Australian Centre for Contemporary Art) August 29, 2024 Duration: 1:10:36
Listen to our panel discussion focusing on the lineages of queer histories on the present. Featuring the research and practices of three speakers, Angela Hesson, Patrice Sharkey and Elyssia Wilson-Heti, who variously engage with queer subcultures, aesthetics and histories, the panel will consider how these legacies have shaped or reshaped the diverse range of LGBTQI+ representation today. This podcast was recorded at ACCA on Wednesday 21 August 2024.
