titleOut of the Ashes
descriptionAudio from the event to mark four major queer anniversaries: 30 years since the formation of the Lesbian and Gay Archives of New Zealand Te Pūranga Takatāpui o Aotearoa (LAGANZ) in 1992, the formation of the Dorian Society (1962), the beginnings of Gay Liberation in New Zealand (1972) and the launch of the third volume of the zine The Archive is Alive. This recording was sourced via the livestream. Unfortunately the waiata were not captured well by the microphones and so have not been included. Other parts of the event have also been edited. A special thank you to the participants and organisers for allowing this event to be recorded and shared.

summary_computer_generatedThe recording captured at the National Library in Wellington, commemorates significant milestones in New Zealand's queer history. It marks 30 years since the Lesbian and Gay Archives of New Zealand (LAGANZ) were formed, the foundation of the Dorian Society in 1962, the beginnings of Gay Liberation in New Zealand in 1972, and the launch of the third volume of the zine "The Archive is Alive." This event, a blend of remembrance and celebration, illustrates the resilience and evolution of the queer community in Aotearoa. The recording features diverse voices, including Elizabeth Kerekere, who emphasizes the importance of preserving Takatāpui histories, and Linda Evans, who speaks on the history of LAGANZ. Chris Szekely, Chief Librarian of the Alexander Turnbull Library, highlights the library's role in safeguarding the archives, particularly following an arson attack on the gay archives in 1986. This attack, emblematic of the societal challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community, underscores the resilience and determination to preserve their history and stories. Will Hansen, a trustee of LAGANZ, discusses the "Archive is Alive" project, focusing on engaging young people with queer histories, particularly trans and youth histories. These initiatives underscore the intergenerational transfer of knowledge and experiences, vital for the community's collective memory and future advocacy. The narrative also includes personal stories from activists like Sandy Gauntlett, who shares their journey as a trans and indigenous activist, reflecting on the challenges and changes they've witnessed. Ben Black's contribution focuses on the Rainbow Youth Tauranga drop-in center, demonstrating the ongoing efforts to support and empower the younger queer community in the Bay of Plenty region. This recording is a testament to the dynamic and multifaceted nature of queer history in New Zealand, highlighting the community's struggles, triumphs, and ongoing journey towards equality and acceptance.
