After a sold-out session at Vivid Sydney 2023, Queeries returns with seven of Australia鈥檚 most incisive LGBTQI+ creatives for a night of stories and performance celebrating queer excellence.
Queeries: expanded literary night
As an expanded literary night, the lineup features journalists, pop stars, poets and more, exploring what it means to be human through a queer lens, inspired by Vivid Sydney 2024鈥檚 theme.
Featured this year are podcaster and TV presenter Agharad 鈥楻ad鈥� Yeo, bringing her cultural acumen to the stage; the poignant prose of聽 s Best Young Novelist Dr George Haddad; the stunning spectacle of drag artiste Kween Kong; the rich wordcraft of poet and storyteller Omar Sakr; sharp commentary from writer and critic Madeleine Gray; and brilliant storytelling from writer and artist Dylin Hardcastle.
Led by host and journalist Jared Richards, who has been described as the 鈥榖rains and brawn鈥� of Queeries, these artists will navigate the theme of humanity, using humour and heart.
Space to meet and share work
First held in 2021, Queeries offers a space for LGBTQI+ writers and readers to meet and share work.
It鈥檚 also a rare opportunity to see leading creatives try something new, with comedians going heartfelt, columnists going comedic, and artists going whichever way they please.
