Here, the team at BWF list five queer-related events worth heading along to while it's on.
One
Growing Up Queer in Australia. Four creatives, including BWF favourite Benjamin Law, share their experiences and thoughts on what it means to grow up queer in Australia. Expect both tears and laughter.
Two
Kindred. Kindred: 12 Queer #LoveOzYA Stories is a delightful read for any teen, and for queer young people it represents an invitation to own their identity and be proud of who they are. Five of the contributors will discuss identity and community.
Zenobia Frost, Solid Air
Three
Story Time With Sophie Beer. Sophie Beer's gorgeous picture book 'Love Makes A Family' is a celebration of love and affirmation of all kinds of families. Bring the family and warm your hearts!
Four
Solid Air: Spoken Word. This event features a huge line-up of performance artists and slam poets in BWF's bespoke venue, the Tirra Lirra lounge. Bring your friends, grab a drink, and soak in poetic mastery.
Five
Jack Charles: A Born Again Black Fella. Uncle Jack Charles is an awarded actor, respected Aboriginal Elder, and treasure of the LGBTIQ community. Fascinating, witty, charming.
