Queer Australian Art and KINK acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners and custodians of the lands and waters of this continent. KINK conducts its work on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation in Naarm Melbourne, the Turrbal and Jagera peoples in Meanjin Brisbane and the Gadigal lands of the Eora Nation, Sydney. We pay respect to elders past, present, and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

A History of LGBTIQ+ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects

2022

Citation

Graham Willett, Angela Bailey, Timothy W. Jones, Sarah Rood, "A History of LGBTQI+ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects", Australian Queer Archives: Melbourne,

Description

In 2022, the Australian Queer Archives published a report commissioned by Heritage Victoria which lists and describes 100 places and objects of most significance to the LGBTIQ+ communities across Victoria. Stretching over nearly 200 years, and located in metropolitan, rural and regional Victoria, the 100 places and objects reveal a remarkably rich heritage which speaks to contemporary queer people but in voices very different to those we are used to. From grand old houses, to lapel badges, from early volumes of sex research, Dockland sheds and artistic productions, the report reveals a heritage about which too little has been known.
