Our Stories, Our Pride Exhibition submission form

Let your story be part of the collective memory.

Let your truth be seen, heard, and felt.

Throughout history, many stories have been incomplete, biased, or erased, including those of LGBTQIA+ lives.

The Our Stories, Our Pride Exhibition at Fremantle Library seeks to reclaim and reframe these narratives, making space for voices that aren’t always heard or acknowledged.

We invite entries in the form of:

• Visual art
• Photography
• Writing (poetry, micro-memoirs, personal reflections)

If you identify as LGBTQIA+, we’d love you to be part of this exhibition.

You don’t need to be a professional artist or writer, we’re looking for authentic voices and perspectives that shine a light on the richness of our community.
