Kin: A Celebration of Queer Resilience and Connection
Get ready to immerse yourself in a stunning photographic exhibition that celebrates the beautiful tapestry of queer life! Renowned takatāpui artist J Davies brings us 'Kin', a powerful series that captures the essence of queer connection and chosen family in all its glory.
From steamy dancefloor moments to powerful protests on Parliament's steps, these documentary-style photographs tell stories of joy, resilience, and unapologetic queerness. Witness intimate moments bathed in soft light, catch glimpses of pure ecstasy in hazy club scenes, and feel the warmth of community spreading across sun-drenched parks.
As a takatāpui artist, J Davies brings their unique perspective to these works, creating a joyful counter-narrative to the often pain-focused stories of queer existence. Through their lens, we see the beauty of queer kinship and the power of creating spaces where we can truly be ourselves.
Exhibition Times:
- Monday to Friday: 9am - 5pm
- Saturday and Sunday: 10am - 5pm
Don't miss this celebration of queer resilience and connection, running from May 1st to June 16th, 2025 at the Pride Gallery.
