Queer PowerPoint @ Marrickville Library

Creators Xanthe Dobbie and Harriet Gillies host this night of surprising stories and secret passions. Queer artists from across the Inner West are invited to explore and share an idea, current obsession, or ongoing fascination using that most staid and ubiquitous of programming tools – PowerPoint. Come back together and revel in this new strangeness with a digital tool from a simpler time.

ABOUT THE QUEER PPT:

QUEER POWERPOINT is a new experimental performance series. We invite queer artists from across the world to explore and share an idea, current obsession, or ongoing fascination using that most staid and ubiquitous of programming tools – PowerPoint. It’s a bunch of queers deep diving into highly niche content in a very gay way. Reclaiming and queering the corporate presentation from our straight capitalist overlords, creators Xanthe Dobbie and Harriet Gillies host this night of surprising stories, and secret passions. We commission artists to create a new 10-minute performance lecture about absolutely anything. It must be queer—and accompanied by a Microsoft PowerPoint slideshow.
