On the Move: Adelaide and LGBTQ Migration is a permanent online exhibition. Visit On the Move- https://onthemove.history.sa.gov.au/

During the second half of the twentieth century, individual, public, and political ideas about LGBTQ lives were changing radically. Adelaide’s reputation as a progressive centre  for LGBTQ rights saw hundreds of LGBTQ people migrate from across the state and other parts of Australia.

On the Move weaves together accounts of LGBTQ people who moved to Adelaide between 1950 and 2000. Using stories and objects, the online exhibition explores the many reasons – political and personal – that drew LGBTQ people to Adelaide and reminds us of the role that LGBTQ people played in the making of contemporary Adelaide.
