Joining us are the brilliant minds behind the Queer Cities exhibition at Melbourne Design Week – welcome Professors Gene Bawden and Jess Berry from Monash University!
Queer Cities is an exhibition that addresses issues of LGBTIQA+ inclusion through spatial interventions that preserve queer heritage — past, present and future. Visualising LGBTIQA+ visibility in public space is an important factor in making urban environments feel more inclusive. Recognition of the presence of queer people and their heritage in public space not only means that LGBTIQA+ people see themselves represented, making diversity visible helps public spaces become more accessible for other marginalised groups. This exhibition surfaces the voices of LGBTIQA+ and gender diverse people to recognise and celebrate queer lived experience, narratives and histories specific to public spaces and commemorate these stories through a spatial intervention.
Professor Gene Bawden is Head of Design at Monash University, and Dr. Jess Berry is a Senior Lecturer in Design History and Theory. Together, they co-curated Queer Cities, an exhibition exploring how queer identities shape and are shaped by urban spaces, as part of Melbourne Design Week 2025
