Queer GLAM sector caucus
GLAM sector workers, volunteers, students and academics are invited to attend a Queer GLAM sector caucus in the afternoon tea break to start conversations and create a space for more peer support and collective care across the sector to help each other in resisting burnout, queerying all the collections and challenging censorship and discrimination in mainstream institutions as well as collaborating with and supporting community-led organisations.
