Across theatres, town halls, cathedrals, festivals and public spaces, ATQM creates experiences that celebrate difference, spark connection and invite communities to imagine the world a little differently. We make dance floors for LGBTQIA+ elders, public spectacles for thousands, day discos for rainbow families and civic gatherings that elevate marginalised voices.
At a time of increasing social isolation, political division and disconnection, these spaces matter deeply.
They create opportunities for people to gather…. To listen. To celebrate. To imagine futures together.
This October, ATQM will present Congress in Naarm/Melbourne in October.
Congress is a large-scale civic assembly where everyday citizens stand alongside artists and writers to deliver political speeches shaped by their lived experiences, hopes and frustrations. Through storytelling, performance and public assembly, the work asks what becomes possible when communities are invited to speak — and to be heard.
The work embodies the values at the heart of ATQM’s practice:
participation, accessibility, dialogue, collective imagination and care.
This End of Financial Year, we’re inviting you to support that work.
Your donation will help ATQM:
✦ Make Congress free of charge and accessible to all
✦ Employ underrepresented voices to work with professional artists
✦ Sustain the care, planning and invisible labour that makes this work possible
We know that the arts, social health, and community wellbeing are indelibly intertwined. We want to continue to unite people of all shapes, sizes and identities in distinct, collective, joyful experiences.
