About Us
In February 2024, Qtopia Sydney opened our doors to share the journey of the Queer community in Australia.
From the earliest days more than 65,000 years ago told through the eyes of Queer First Nations people, the journey from illegality to legality, inequality to equality under the law and, finally – the vital role of identity and inclusion.
With a footprint of more than 1,750 square metres, Qtopia Sydney spans three distinct sites, the most extensive presence of any Centre for Queer History and Culture in the world.
Our commitment lies in storytelling, rooted in the fundamental principles of empowerment and inclusiveness. Ours is an interactive environment dedicated to preserving and celebrating the distinctive histories and lived experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community in this country – via exhibitions, live performances, educational initiatives, events and corporate programs. In telling our story, we respect and pay homage to those who have also struggled to find their place and we join them in solidarity and a commitment to a shared future. We strive to spark conversation, to foster learning and initiate discussions that pave the way for a future built on the pillars of tolerance, acceptance, respect and love.
