The Challenge: A Platform for Pride
For Pride Fest 2025, QTOPIA Sydney curated a festival that centred identity, joy, and community. The venue needed a performance platform that could adapt to various acts – from drag queens and DJs to spoken word and acoustic sets – all while keeping safety and visibility top of mind.
Key Challenges Included:
● Multi-Use Stage: Needed to support a range of performers with varied technical needs
● Audience Integration: Maximise visibility and comfort for standing and seated crowds
● Tight Timeframes: Install during venue hours without disrupting surrounding exhibits
