Queer PowerPoint brings deep dives and star wipes to Fed Square for Now or Never

Words by staff writer

Queer PowerPoint returns to Melbourne with their biggest, gayest show yet this August.

After selling out shows nationwide, Queer PowerPoint makes their triumphant return to Now or Never for an evening of deep dives and star wipes at Fed Square. The event promises to showcase the deepest recesses of notes apps as queer artists, thinkers, babes and glorious weirdos from across Narrm share their burning passions, most cooked theories and secret desires for audiences.

The format remains delightfully simple yet effective – presenters must use Microsoft’s most mundane medium, PowerPoint, to deliver their presentations. Co-hosts Harriet Gillies and Xanthe Dobbie will guide audiences through a fantasia of hot takes, heartfelt moments and heated debates in what organisers are billing as Queer PowerPoint’s biggest show to date.

The show operates on a submission basis, with aspiring presenters encouraged to submit expressions of interest for consideration. Those with hot topics burning holes in their hard drives had until Wednesday 16 July to submit their proposals through the Queer PowerPoint website.

Queer PowerPoint is produced by Unfunded Empathy. The Melbourne presentation forms part of the broader Now or Never festival, an adventurous celebration of the intersection of art, ideas, sound and technology presented by the City of Melbourne.

The event takes place at Fed Square’s The Edge venue, located at the corner of Swanston and Flinders streets. Registration is required despite the free admission, with tickets available through the Humanitix platform. The venue provides accessibility information for attendees requiring additional support.
