Hosted by Zoë Bastin at Blindside Gallery once a month for 2025. Come chat about all your gay theoretical and philosophical ideas
The Queer Theory Reading Group is back with all your gay theoretical and philosophical ideas. Hosted by Zoë Bastin at Blindside Gallery once a month for 2026.
Get ready for a year of thought-provoking discussions, where queer theory meets creativity, poetry, and community! This monthly gathering is your go-to space for big ideas, lively conversations, and connection with like-minded thinkers.
Originally founded at RMIT University in 2018, the Queer Theory Reading Group quickly became a hit, drawing in an enthusiastic crowd of creative and curious minds. Now, with over 100 people on our mailing list, it’s become a platform to celebrate excellence in LGBTIQA+ thinking and research while fostering a vibrant queer academic community, outside of universities.
Here’s what makes our sessions special:
New Host Every Month: Dive into readings that have inspired, provoked, or transformed their thinking.
No Homework: Readings are done together during the session, so discussions are fresh, responsive, and engaging.
Inclusive Atmosphere: Everyone is welcome to join, and Blindside Gallery is a fully accessible venue.
Zoë facilitates each session, framing the conversation, introducing the host, and keeping the vibe fun and thought-provoking. Whether you’re an academic, artist, or just curious, we’d love to have you join us!
When: Thursdays Monthly from 6.30 - 8:00pm.
Where: Blindside Gallery, 54 Errol Street, North Melbourne.
To learn what each session will focus on, visit the Blindside Website.
If you have any questions or specific needs, don’t hesitate to email Zoë at hello@zoebastin.com
Come along, bring your ideas, and let’s keep queer theoretical discourse alive!
