Opening Night Gala

Presented as part of Same same but Different


Friday 8 February 2019, 7.30 PM

‘You’re not leaving the house dressed like that!’

We all remember and wince at hair styles we wore with pride,
or a pair of shoes that kept us awake at nights. Yet style
was how we messaged our difference, our protest, our
personality. Various authors and LGBTQ+ personalities show
and tell the styles that marked them out as outrageous,
fabulous or dissident.

Featuring transgender legend Georgina Beyer, activist and
parent Sandi Hall, superstar sensation Mika, wry comic
artist and dead-serious activist Sam Orchard, budding
genius Ruby Porter, excitingly explicit playwright Victor
Rodger and flight-to-the-heavens poet Chris Tse.

Chaired by the man who made Auckland hum, Jeremy
Hansen.

Presented as part of Same same but Different
