Melbourne/Naarm-based researcher Gene Bawden and the XYX Lab will open its latest exhibit 'Consenting Cities' in Melbourne tomorrow.  It offers startling glimpses into the experiences of women and gender diverse people in our cities.  Bawden tells Liz Fouldes heteronormative design practices can exclude queer people from public spaces.

Follow the XYX Lab's work @xyxlab on Instagram and visit 'Consenting Cities' at the No Vacancy Gallery this week.
