Nau mai, haere mai, piki mai, kake mai with your chosen whānau.
Te Waka Huia Wellington Museum is proud to bring back Chosen Family Night, a vibrant evening filled with queer history, art, and community, in collaboration with Wellington Pride Festival.
Your not-so-typical night at the museum is hosted by the lovely Lilly Loudmouth and the festivities include:
❤️ Rainbow history tours
🧡 Drag appearances
💛 Dirty, filth poetry readings
💚 Live music performances
💙 Wholesome crafts
💜 Inu, kai and a low-sensory chill out space
The two craft projects are:
The continuation of special rainbow knitting project with Knitorious Lulu, Arlo & The Stitch-Up Crew
A collage activity led by Will Hansen of Kawe Mahara Queer Archives Aotearoa

This event welcomes all members of the rainbow community and allies. While this is an all-ages event, a cash bar will be available with alcohol served to 18+ with valid ID.
Thursday 12 March | 5pm–8:30pm | Doors open 5pm
This event is supported by Rainbow Wellington.
