Lesbians Redefining Our World is a current exhibition at Qtopia Sydney examining the importance of visibility, representation, and leadership within lesbian communities. The exhibition centres on the role of public figures as models of possibility, particularly within minority communities where acceptance has historically been contested.

The exhibition presents a selection of lesbian trailblazers whose professional achievements and public lives demonstrate that being openly lesbian has not impeded ambition, influence, or success. Featured figures include Dawn O’Donnell, Deborah Cheetham AO, Kerryn Phelps AM, Miriam Margolyes, Narelda Jacobs OAM, Penny Sharpe, Penny Wong, Robyn Archer AO, Robyn Kennedy, Sam Kerr OAM, and Sue Wills.
