Date: Sunday 16 November, 2025

Time: 11.00a.m.

Address: 60 Marryatt Street, Port Adelaide

Register

In 1975 South Australia became the first state to decriminalise homosexuality.

Register

The Big Five-O brings together elders who’ll address the political context in which decriminalisation occurred and the role of feminist, anti-war, First Nations, and trade union activism in shaping that landscape.

The panel discussion will be followed by a light lunch and then a hands-on ‘crafting activism’ session where you’ll get to ‘paint a patch’ inspired by the stories shared.

This event is supported by a Grant for Seniors from the Office for Ageing Well.
