Pride Screening: Georgie Girl (with special guest Will Hansen)

June 25 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm

Celebrate World Pride with us this June, and take the time this Matariki to reflect on our histories and those that led the way before us.

Join us for a special screening of Georgie Girl, a full length 2001 documentary about Aotearoa’s own Georgina Beyer, the world’s first openly transgender mayor and MP, and a special talk from Aotearoa queer historian Will Hansen.

Will Hansen (he/him) is a trans historian based in Pōneke. He is the lucky recipient of a Judith Binney Trust award, which is enabling him to spend this year working on turning his thesis – ‘Queer Activism in Aotearoa New Zealand, 1961-2013’ – into a book! He is also a trustee of Kawe Mahara Queer Archives Aotearoa.

Koha entry, registration preferred but tickets will be available on the door as well.
