Queer Pavilion is a drifting structure for art, performance and conversation that will reside in the Rangipuke Albert Park for six days during the Auckland Pride Festival. Queer Pavilion takes place on the site of Aotearoa’s first public Gay Liberation protest led by Ngahuia Te Awekotuku in 1972. There will be free performances, workshops and exhibitions. Queer and gender-diverse artists will create and exhibit new works that respond to and activate the Park, with a series of free public activities as well as offering social spaces for kai, coffee and korero.
