Dr Nicole Kalms and Professor Naomi Stead for Monash University’s XYX Lab
During this episode, Melbourne’s Design Week was in full swing and on the Sunday afternoon, Dr Niki Kalms and Professor Naomi Stead were heading up a panel at the National Gallery of Victoria discussing the theme of “Queering Architecture?”.
As part of the newly-formed XYX Lab at Monash University, Niki and Naomi chatted about issues in space, gender and communication, aiming to open conversations about re-designing normality in architecture, informing them with research and addressing them with advocacy. The conversation turned to how design can control and prevent gender inequity in Australia.
This episode also saw more discussion about the Melbourne Queer Film Festival (MQFF), Australia’s largest queer film festival – now in it’s 27th year.
Sally Christie dropped by to talk about the divine and decadent inspirations of Mr John Waters, the Pope of Trash, and the screening of his cult classic ‘Multiple Maniacs’ at ACMI.
