Loving brings long-hidden stories into the light through hundreds of rare and intimate photographs dating from the 1850s to the 1950s.
Captured at a time when same-sex relationships were often criminalised or socially condemned, the images reveal moments of tenderness, connection, and quiet defiance. Together, they form a striking counternarrative to the repression of their era.
The exhibition also invites reflection on the fight for equality and freedom by drawing on the histories and values shared by the EU and Australia.
Through Loving, the EU and Australia reaffirm their shared commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights. By preserving and presenting these histories, both acknowledge the importance of remembering the past to inform a more inclusive future.
QVMAG co-presents with the Delegation of the European Union to Australia - Loving: Photographs of Men in Love 1850s-1950s. A unique portrait exhibition based on the archive collection and book of the same name, researched and curated by Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell.

Maria Fernanda Cardoso is internationally renowned for using unconventional and organic materials to consider nature and its links to culture and science. Working across sculpture, photography, installation, video and performance, her work examines the connections and tensions between society and the natural world.
Maria Fernanda Cardoso: Spiders of Paradise presents new works from Cardoso's Spiders of Paradise photographic series (2018–ongoing), alongside her acclaimed video work On the Origins of Art I-II (2016). Cardoso's subject is the tiny Australian Maratus spider – measuring less than 5mm in size – and their unique, brightly-coloured abdomens, which form part of their elaborate mating rituals.
Bringing together science, art and nature, this exhibition celebrates the beauty of the natural world and reveals the sophisticated lives of creatures not usually witnessed.
Maria Fernanda Cardoso: Spiders of Paradise is an exhibition developed and toured by the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.
Art in Conflict is a touring exhibition of contemporary art from the collection of the Australian War Memorial.
These artist responses to conflict bring to light untold stories, reveal neglected histories and deepen our understanding of Australia's experience of conflict, both past and present.
Supported by research from an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project, the exhibition highlights how war art can lead us to consider different ways of thinking about current and recent conflicts, inviting us to consider perspectives we might not otherwise encounter.
An Australian War Memorial touring exhibition, assisted by the Australian Government's Visions of Australia program.
ACMI's collection has a rich, 75-year history from its inception as the State Film Centre in 1946. Since its incarnation as ACMI in the early 2000s, the collection has expanded to include artworks and experimental film.
ACMI now holds a significant archive of complex, time-based media works and videogames, as well as an ever-expanding repository of digitised content and born-digital material.
This exhibition celebrates ACMI's vibrant collecting and commissioning program, showcasing five moving image artworks by Australian artists. Working in video offers artists the opportunity to use editing as a primary technique; mixing and matching elements from other films, or their own work, to tell new stories.
By remixing or rearranging footage, these five artists build different rhythms and moods, creating hilarious juxtapositions or shedding new light on cultural cliches and presumed histories.
All works featured in this exhibition demonstrate an irrepressible desire to bring deep themes to the surface with humour and an incredible attention to detail.
Featuring: Kaylene Whiskey, Deborah Kelly, Zanny Begg, David Rosetzky, Christian Thompson
