Exhibitions

There are five major themes that guide our opening exhibitions: HIV/AIDS, human rights, sexuality & identity, media representation, and First Nations stories. Each of these themes will be expanded over time, with new exhibitions opening in the coming months.

Visitors are advised that these exhibitions contain references to disturbing events, violence, grief and loss and may be upsetting for some viewers.

Performances

Qtopia Sydney’s live performance series will allow us to continue to tell stories through a wide range of genres and across our three stages - The Loading Dock Theatre, The Substation and The Bandstand.

Our theatres will always amplify the stories of those in the LGBTQIA+ family and prioritize the works of our great local storytellers from the wider community.

A visit to our theatres offers the opportunity to extend the knowledge, empathy and understanding gained from time spent at the exhibitions, by provoking conversation through powerful storytelling, meaningful performances, and celebratory shows.
