“Qtopia” with George Savoulis

Would you like to hear about a 100-year-old public Art nouveau toilet turned queer art gallery? Or about the police station that went from a site of protest and oppression to a place of LGBTQIA+ storytelling? Then this is the episode for you. George Savoulis, director of Qtopia Sydney, is taking us all the way to Australia to tell us all about the magic of queer history, reclaiming of space, and the beauty of queer creativity.

Questions you should be able to respond to after listening:

What is the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras?
Where did the 1978 protests take place and what were they about?
What is the pink triangle?
If you could choose any space to turn into a queer gallery, museum or performance space, which space would that be?
