Programs for Eulogy for The Dyke Bar are central to the project, creating space for meaningful conversation across generations and identities about the future of queer and dyke spaces. WorldPride programming was created in collaboration with Catherine Woolley, Curatorial and Public Engagement Officer at UNSW Galleries. Additional consultation and support was provided by Sarah Hibbs, WorldPride Program Producer, and Siân McIntyre, Public Programs Manager at National Art School in Sydney.
