Defending with Pride is the first of its kind for an Australian war memorial. It reveals the history of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) people in service. Drawing on historical research, community consultation and collections from the Australian Queer Archives, this immersive exhibition takes you on a journey from denial and exclusion to recognition and inclusion.
Depending on the needs and interests of your class we can do any combination of the following experiences:
- Shrine tour
- Exhibition tour and talk
- Structured discussion and writing workshop
