The sold-out event drew over 200 guests to LCI Melbourne’s Collingwood campus, which was transformed into a vibrant celebration of queer art, performance, and radical storytelling. The evening featured powerful live performances from DJ Gay Dad, singer-songwriter Kira Puru, and saxophonist Bruno Salsicce, alongside immersive installations that showcased the essence of Archer’s mission: to platform sexuality, gender, and identity through creative expression.

Attendees moved through multi-sensory installations across the Gallery, Agora, and Cyclorama spaces, while enjoying music, connection, and moments of profound visibility. The launch of Archer Studio marked an exciting evolution for the team behind the award-winning publication—furthering its commitment to sharing stories from the margins.
