A Rather Queer Cuba Street

Schedule

Sat Sep 28 2024 at 01:00 pm

Location

Thistle Hall Gallery | Wellington, WG

Cuba Street has a long history of being home to a diversity of businesses and organisations related to Takatāpui Rainbow+ communities. From the Club Exotique strip club, to the Royal Oak hotel, to Jacquie Grant’s pet shop with the masturbans monkey. While most of these establishments don’t exist anymore, some of the buildings still do – echoing a very queer past.
Join the team from PrideNZ for a virtual 1-hour walk up Cuba Street, stepping into sometimes imaginary doorways, to hear first-hand stories told with voices from the PrideNZ audio collection.
1pm Saturday 28 September
Free entry, no booking required (first in first seated)
