Join us on Wednesday 30 April for the next instalment of Pride Culture Club

Pride Culture Club is a bi-monthly social gathering of LGBTQIA+ staff, students, and allies who meet to share their passion for queer culture in all its forms, including art, film, music, and literature. A joint initiative of the University of Sydney Library and the Pride Network, Pride Culture Club is free to join, and participation is open to all staff and students. Join our mailing list to get involved and stay informed about upcoming events. 

This month's Pride Culture Club will feature Peter de Waal (AM), a lifelong LGBTQIA+ activist who participated in the first Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. De Waal will be speaking about his new memoir It Wasn't Dutch Courage, a queer story about how pain can be rehabilitated through purpose and kindness. He suffered loss, loneliness and confusion throughout his childhood in Nazi-occupied The Hague, and then again in the discovery that he was "different". His subsequent journey to Australia and travels helped begin the healing process, but it was in finding purpose and community in activism that he found a path to the reclamation of his lost childhood, love, and peace. 

Stamped copies of It Wasn't Dutch Courage, will be available to purchase at the event.

Light refreshments will be served. Please note that this event may be photographed.
