“If they do an inadequate job with PowerPoint, they would do just as bad using something else.”

Robert Gaskins, Inventor of PowerPoint

An evening of corporate presentations and personal optimisation. But queer.

Sydney and Perth-based queer artists of all artforms and interests – we are commissioning four new artworks in each city that go deep down your favourite rabbithole to explore something you’ve learnt, felt, got obsessed with or freaked out by recently.

There is only one rule – you must share your idea in a 10-minute talk with slides built using that most staid, straight and ubiquitous of programming tools – Microsoft PowerPoint.

Created by Xanthe Dobbie, Harriet Gillies and Thom Smyth, and produced by Unfunded Empathy, Queer PowerPoint offers a fee and creative support to explore a new idea and share it with a crowd of cuties.

This new performance night has been a big cute, inclusive sold-out funtime – no performance or PowerPoint skill necessary.
