Welcome to Queers Past by She Shapes History, a podcast uncovering the stories of LGBTQIA+ Canberrans. In this first episode, your host Zev (they/them) warmly welcomes you to The gAyCT, the queer capital of Australia. Zev sets the scene for the season ahead, sharing what you can expect, exploring the idea of history as a concept, unpacking the power of language, and reflecting on their own journey to becoming your guide for this podcast. With personal and political insights woven throughout, this episode is your primer for an unforgettable exploration of Canberra’s LGBTQIA+ past.

Want to explore these stories in person? Meet Zev on our Pride in the Capital tour, running every Saturday afternoon (or by request for private tours).

Queers Past is proudly supported by funding from the ACT Government's Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs as part of the Capital of Equality Grants Program.
