Call Out for Presenters - Queer PowerPoint at Marrickville Library

Calling all queer creatives of the Inner West!

Queer PPT are giving you a chance to go deep down your favourite rabbit hole and share your nerdiest obsessions.

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 at Marrickville Library on Fri 30 August.

This performance night is a big cute, inclusive fun time - no performance or PowerPoint skill necessary.

The Basics

EOIs are super simple – just let Queer PPT know your idea, why you are so into it, and give us a link to your website, insta or other examples of your work.

Number of spots: 3 artists to be programmed

Fee: $500

Expected work load: 1-2 days max including performance

Performance date: Marrickville Library Pavilion, Friday 30 August, 6.30pm-7.30pm

About Queer PPT

Queer PowerPoint is a new experimental performance series. We invite queer artists from across the world to explore and share an idea, current obsession, or ongoing fascination using that most staid and ubiquitous of programming tools – PowerPoint.

It’s a bunch of queers deep diving into highly niche content in a very gay way. Reclaiming and queering the corporate presentation from our straight capitalist overlords, creators Xanthe Dobbie and Harriet Gillies host this night of surprising stories, and secret passions.

We commission artists to create a new 10-minute performance lecture about absolutely anything. The parameters? It must be queer—and accompanied by a Microsoft PowerPoint slideshow.
