Discover the incredible stories of the people and pictures that made the magazine PIX — Australia’s first pictorial news weekly.
Prepare to delve into the place of PIX magazine in Australia’s burgeoning LGBTQI+ visibility in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Sensationalist pictorials? Or visibility and representation in a time of scarcity? From early forms of drag out of army war camp entertainment troops, to (surprisingly respectful) firsthand accounts of trans and gender-diverse people, to lesbian bars and fashion models, you’ll be surprised by the rainbow we discover during this slide night.
Sam Cooling (they/them) is a librarian in the Collection Acquisition & Curation branch at the State Library of NSW.
