PowerPoint meets LGBTQIA+ as the corporate world’s snooziest presentation software gets a joyous queer makeover.

Xanthe Dobbie and Harriet Gillies host a night of surprising stories, secret passions and starwipe that reclaim the corporate presentation from the straight capitalist overlords.

Queer PowerPoint is the cult hit experimental performance series that features a bunch of queers deep diving into highly niche content in a very gay way. See Darwin creatives sharing their ideas, current obsession or ongoing fascination in a 10-minute performance lecture using the most staid and ubiquitous of programming tools – PowerPoint. Each lecture can be about absolutely anything – the only rules are they have to be queer af, and they have to use Microsoft PowerPoint.

Don’t miss this evening of delightfully obscure, joyful and super queer sharing. Line-up below.

Tea McColl
They/them

My entire personality is made of 3 things – 1. I’m a nurse, 2. I’m queer and 3. I can sew things (all going to plan I will be wearing a new creation on the night!).
If you ask me any questions about 1 and 3 I will info dump on you for 20 minutes with no ability to register your disinterest, proceed at your own risk friends.
I once tried to convince my wife we should get pet chickens and ducks via slideshow (it worked), it’s my favourite form of communication
