Queer History Month Aotearoa

Celebrate Aotearoa’s first Queer History Month

Aotearoa’s first Queer History Month Pūmahara Ia Te Wā happening this July was breathed into being by Kawe Mahara Queer Archives Aotearoa and the National Library.

To celebrate join us and a panel of speakers to mark the passing of the Homosexual Law Reform Act in Aotearoa on 9 July 1986. We will talk about how we can strengthen our queer archives and networks to better carry and preserve Aotearoa’s often fragile queer histories and memories.

The theme for this year’s Queer History Month Pūmahara Ia Te Wā is:

He kitenga kanohi, he hokinga mahara. He kawenga mahara, he hāpori kitea

A familiar face stirs one's memories, a collection of memories is a community seen.
