Untold Stories: Commemorating 40 Years of Homosexual Law Reform

Join Kawe Mahara Queer Archives Aotearoa for a special Pūmahara Ia Te Wā Queer History Month Event as we host a panel conversation about the "untold stories" of the journey to the passing of the Homosexual Law Reform Bill, a landmark triumph in queer history and rights. 🌈✊
Who carried this movement in ways history hasn’t fully named? What can community memory tell us that official records cannot? What responsibilities come with remembering–and retelling–these stories today?
We will also be celebrating the launch of Kawe Mahara’s new Queer History resource, KAMP: Knowledge And Memory Pack, and learn how to get involved with Kawe Mahara’s various queer history mahi. 😍🏕️🥳
Featuring the wonderful Linda Evans, Gavin Young, De'Anne Jackson, and Vernon Tile Vamaua! 😍🌈
Please join us for the conversation and some kai. The event is free but seats are limited, so to RVSP please fill out this form: https://www.cognitoforms.com/KaweMaharaQueerArchivesAotearoa/UntoldStoriesRegistration
