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:

of the New Zealand gay world since the 1950s form a backdrop to this man's
zest for life, including the spiritual world, New Zealand artists and art
history, his aging body and the challenges of prostate cancer.
