Q-Lit: Queer Victorian Festival of Words
Free Workshops and Evening Showcase in Hamilton/Gunditjmara Country!
Saturday May 11, 2024
Calling all LGBTQIASB+ creatives, friends and allies!
Q-Lit is super excited about our 2024 touring schedule, and we would love you to help us spread the word about our festival events.
Q-Lit is Victoria's premier LGBTQIA+ literature festival, dedicated to celebrating the rich and vibrant history of language and storytelling within the queer community. Born from the understanding that LGBTQIA+ culture has a long-standing tradition of utilising language in unique and powerful ways, Q-Lit seeks to honour and elevate these voices. The festival brings together a diverse array of queer writers and creators, transcending genres and mediums to create a truly inclusive and inspiring event.
