Monica Brewster Evening July - Will Hansen

Join us for a stimulating kōrero as Will Hansen unpacks what a transfeminist framework entails under the theme of resistance, showing how queer radicals forged new languages of liberation and employed playful, confrontational protest tactics.

Drawing on research into trans activism in Aotearoa from the 1970s to 2010s, Will invites you to participate, share your perspectives, and help shape a richer, more inclusive understanding of our collective history through radical community engagement and the recovery of overlooked narratives. 

Will is in conversation with Wesley Milne.
