Experience a captivating exhibition featuring photographs from the Auckland Pride Centre Archives. This remarkable initiative, provided a safe haven for ten LGBTQIA+ community groups, offered a substance-free social venue, an information service, and a lending library. In addition, it presented a diverse range of LGBTQIA+ events, including the renowned Annual Coming Out Day Parade, Tea Dances, Art Exhibitions, Poetry Readings, and the 1990 Auckland Gay Mardi Gras. Throughout the 1990s, The Pride Centre played a significant role in advocating for queer issues and scrutinising the stance of local politicians on LGBTQIA+ issues.
We need your help to continue providing a year-round programme of online reviews, interviews, portfolios, videos and listings that is free for everyone to access. We’d also like to dream bigger with the services we offer to photographers and the visual arts.
