Join us for opening night on Friday 7th November from 7pm onwards – Meet the photographers, enjoy kai and kōrero, and get your very own limited-edited prints from this special exhibition.

 A photography exhibition celebrating the resiliency of the rainbow community and highlighting the ways we have found to gather, despite not having a permanent space in Ōtautahi Christchurch.

 This fundraiser is supporting the establishment of a Rainbow Hub, which will serve the community as a drop-in centre and a co-working space for folks working across the rainbow services sector. This is a collaborative project between multiple local organisations and community members.

 After opening night, you can view the photographs at Te Wā until the exhibition closes on 13th November.

 All funds raised during the exhibition will be matched and doubled through GiveOut Day! You can make a donation through their online platform.

 Please RSVP to help us plan kai for the evening!
