An Evening with Chris Brickell

Rainbow Wellington has arranged, jointly with LAGANZ, a lecture/presentation by Chris Brickell, the author of the recent book, "Mates and lovers: a history of gay New Zealand".

Now that many of us have had a chance to read “Mates and lovers” this is a great opportunity to hear more from Chris about his research for the book. Chris will be talking in particular about the many visual images in "Mates and lovers".

The venue is the National Library Conference Room. Enter by the lower ground floor entrance on Aitken Street.

Drinks and nibbles from 6pm; followed by Chris's presentation from 6.30 pm.

There is no charge for this function. Rainbow Wellington will be asking for donations of about $5 per person to cover its expenses.

A reminder of the review of the book by Charles Chauvel, which is at: http://www.rainbowwellington.org.nz/news.asp#bookreview
