Come out after dark for a night of fierce fun inspired by Bloodsuckers: Nature's Vampires. Explore how blood has shaped queer culture, from vampire iconography and camp horror to HIV/AIDS activism, stigma and resistance.
Explore the exhibition, catch a talk, grab a drink at the bar and enjoy the vibes.
Talk: Bloodlines: Horror, Desire and the Politics of Blood
Join our special guest speakers, including an original 78er, for a conversation exploring queer histories of secrecy, stigma and resilience, and the reclamation of these stories through joy, defiant visibility, and gothic and vampiric rebellion.
Held 49 years to the day since the first Mardi Gras marched past the Museum, this talk also reflects on the power of cultural institutions to hold, honour and illuminate stories once kept in the shadows.
