Hosted by Whakatu Nelson Pride, To Those Whose Shoulders We Stand On invites you on a journey through Aotearoa’s rich queer/rainbow history. Join out-and-proud trans woman Joanne Neilson and trans fella Ari Edgecombe for a visual montage paired with inspiring conversation and queer life narratives. Marking the 40th anniversary of the Homosexual Law Reform Act (1986), this event celebrates some of our trailblazers, with invitation to weave personal stories into shared and courageous history. Together we honour queer/rainbow legacy, reflect on how far we’ve come, and look forward — proudly and collectively — to the future.
