What does love look like on the Gold Coast, in this community, at this particular moment? Presented alongside the photography exhibitions Love on the Goldy and Loving: Photographs of Men in Love 1850s-1950s, this panel brings together a group of local queer voices to speak honestly about love in all its forms - romantic, communal, platonic - and the specific experience of being queer in a city that is only just beginning to see itself reflected back. Hosted by Goldy's founder Nerida Groth, this is a conversation about longing, belonging, and what gets built when community shows up for itself.
