About the event
An exhibit by Fiona Clark celebrating the courage, strength, and tenacity of our lesbian sapphic communities over the 50 years since Gay Liberation. Fiona will present new photographic portraits, as well as photos from her archive depicting the complexities of our identities and shared cultural experience. This exhibit will embrace those complexities, and looks to champion a collective spirit and elevate lesbian sapphic voices back onto K'Rd for Auckland Pride, so often the backdrop to our collective lives.
The Charlotte Museum will support Fiona by including items from our collections that compliment the works on show. Through this collaboration our communities can engage with a creative expression of narratives that reflect who we are and the cultural experience in which we all play a part.
