Queer-ways: Retracing Melbourne’s Queer Footprint is an exciting new

initiative that aims to map queer experiences in Melbourne. Queer-ways will

be a unique form of interactive storytelling combining queer stories and

voices of Melbourne’s past and present.

The project is an inclusive, responsible and educational look into the

vibrant and underground history of queer Melbourne.LUCIANO & Georgia Keats

have developed Queer-ways in partnership with the Australian Queer Archive

& have recently completed a residency as Testing Grounds. Both LUCIANO &

Georgia are talented artists in their own right - often pulling from

personal experience in their work.

We caught up with them both to hear about how the project came together,

the peril of finding funding, and why this project is important for the

community.

Follow Queer-ways on Instagram for updates on the project or visit the

website to add your mark on queer history.

This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Waddawurung, Bonurung, and

Wurundjeri people of the eastern Kulin nation, and we wish to acknowledge

them as the traditional owners.
