Got a PowerPoint idea burning a hole in your hard drive? A passion project or secret obsession that keeps you up at night? We want to hear about it! For the first time ever, Queer PowerPoint is coming to Canberra for three massive nights across Belconnen Arts Centre, Tuggeranong Arts Centre, and The Q in Queanbeyan.
CALLOUT CLOSES: FRIDAY 15 AUGUST 2025
We’re looking for LGBTQIA+ folks from across the ACT and surrounding regions to share their wildest ideas, deepest dives, and niche obsessions. QPPT presentations are 10-12 minutes long and can be about literally anything – as long as it’s queer and uses PowerPoint.
Select a venue below if there’s a specific show you’d like to be considered for (Belconnen Arts Centre, Tuggeranong Arts Centre, or The Q) for more details.
About Queer PowerPoint
“a stupidly funny and extremely satisfying riot of information.” – The Conversation
Queer PowerPoint is taking over Canberra with a three-night spectacular across Belconnen Arts Centre, Tuggeranong Arts Centre, and The Q in Queanbeyan. After selling out shows nationwide, the capital region’s own lineup of queer brilliance is finally getting its moment in the spotlight.
Watch the deepest recesses of your notes app come to life as queer artists, thinkers, babes and glorious weirdos from across the ACT share their burning passions, most cooked theories and secret desires for your viewing pleasure. The only rule…they must use Microsoft’s most mundane medium PowerPoint.
Each night features a fresh lineup of local talent, meaning you can catch three completely different shows across the three venues. Co-hosts Harriet Gillies and Xanthe Dobbie will take you on a guided journey through this fantasia of hot takes, heartfelt moments, and heated debates, with legendary DJ stereogamous providing the soundtrack to this corporate rebellion.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see Canberra’s queer creativity unleashed across the region’s premier arts venues.
