Exhibition
While you wait for the movies to start, we invite you to explore the exhibitions on display, including a Queer history exhibition developed by Leeton Rainbow Pride Collective Inc. A celebration of LGBTQIA+ culture and a call to action, the exhibition showcases the pioneers who have made significant contributions to Australian society, despite facing discrimination and persecution. Learn about the progress towards equality, the challenges still to be addressed, and the opportunities to support and uplift the community.
