Launch of Voices from 1978

When

Tuesday 27 June 2023 from 6pm to 8pm

In June 1978, young gays and lesbians and their supporters were confronted by police in the streets of Sydney. Their lives were changed forever, and the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras was born. To mark the 45th anniversary of 1978, First Mardi Gras Inc. has published a collection of reminiscences and iconic images that bring those turbulent events to life.

If you would like to join us for a short evening of drinks and readings from contributors, please register at: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/voices-from-1978-book-launch-tickets-638942884367.
