Fifty years ago, the University of Adelaide’s students were prominent players in the fight for Gay Liberation. This exhibition features student magazine, On Dit, providing a social and historical record of student life.

Curated by the University of Adelaide Pride Club, the display examines the role students played in the advancement of queer rights at a time when homosexuality remained a criminal offence.
