Queer Media Show and Tell List

Thu. Jun. 13, 2024

Explore 2SLGBTQIA+ art in all its forms

On May 28, the library hosted its Queer Media Show and Tell to celebrate Pride 2024. Thank you to the students, library staff and community members who came and participated in the discussion. Everyone had the chance to talk about their favourite 2SLGBTQIA+ artists and media, from literature, movies and TV series to video games and music.
