Writer and curator Laura Castagnini has been named a curator for the LGBTQI museum, Qtopia Sydney, which opens on February 23. As one of 12 curators, Castagnini will curate an exhibition called, The Underground: Sexuality and Protest in the infamous Taylor Square toilets as part of the museum’s opening exhibition.
'I was shocked as many others present, by the news that Qtopia had coupled with The Lachlan and Sarah Murdoch Foundation and had accepted a donation of one million dollars,' writes Sydney-based artist Guy James Whitworth.
