Queer Futures focused on the kinds of spaces queer communities desire to create moving forward, drawing from lessons learned by previous generations. We discussed new and emerging types of queer parties and celebrations in Sydney, as well as how they evolved from and beyond established spaces and traditions. These ideas were contextualized within a conversation about the politics of assimilation vs. liberation (pursuing access and visibility within existing institutions vs. transforming or working outside of these systems). Participants included Megan Holloway (founder of Sad Dyke Sundays at the Bearded Tit), Kelly Lovemonster (producer of several popular queer events in Sydney, curator and writer), Kilia Tipa (storyteller and popular vogue performer at Sissy Ball), and artist Macon Reed as they questioned: How do we create inclusive spaces that acknowledge intersectionalities and the unique needs of expanding queer communities?
