Join the trailblazing lesbian authors of CAMP: Australia’s pioneer homosexual rights activists for a night of fascinating queer history, imagery and maybe even a bit of gossip!
Long-time activists Robyn Kennedy and Robyn Plaister wrote CAMP for World Pride 2023, highlighting the history behind the revolutionary Campaign Against Moral Persecution activists, one of the first LGBTQI+ rights groups in Australia.
For the book, the Robyns collated a huge trove of historic images which is set to be the foundation of the talk. With each photo, Kennedy and Plaister will explore the people featured in them, the context in which they were taken and their individual impacts on the movement.
