In the history of queer activism in Auckland, the 1992 Hero party on Auckland’s Princes Wharf is a shining light.
Billed as ‘the ultimate gay dance party’, the event was put together by more than 250 volunteers. It opened with a karanga and morphed into a theatrical production coordinated by Warwick Broadhead that included spotlit drag performers, huge glitter balls and dancer and choreographer Michael Parmenter soaring over the crowd on a trapeze. “I remember it as a pretty incredible celebration of freak-flag flying in the face of bigotry, and a great party,” Becky Nunes, the photographer who took this image, told Public Address.
