A brief description of the recording is: In this podcast Kevin Haunui, chair of LAGANZ, reflects on the community event Queer History in the Making. The content in the recording covers the 2010s decade. A brief summary of the recording is: This abstract summarizes the content of a podcast featuring Kevin Haunui, chair of the Lesbian and Gay Archives of New Zealand (LAGANZ), discussing the community event "Queer History in the Making." The event is a focal point for celebrating and reflecting on the queer history of the 2010s in Aotearoa New Zealand, particularly within the Wellington community. During the podcast, which was recorded on September 12, 2015 and runs for three minutes, Haunui evaluates the event as a significant success in raising the profile of the LAGANZ and engaging the community. Throughout the podcast, the speaker emphasizes the effective outreach achieved through the event, noting that the event's success is evident in the over 100 people who attended during its four-hour duration. The importance of such events is underlined by their capacity to provide a networking space where individuals can interact with diverse segments of the queer community that they might not typically engage with. Furthermore, the event is described as a crucial platform for contemplating and acknowledging the ongoing relevance of queer history and the associated issues that require ongoing attention. An additional aspect of success mentioned is the affirmative nature of the event, where numerous groups had the opportunity to share their experiences, creating a positive and empowering space for the attendees. The residual energy from these events - likened to that experienced during the Asia Pacific Outgames - has a lasting impact and contributes to the sustaining momentum of community efforts. Haunui also reflects on the deeper implications of celebrating and discussing queer history, suggesting that such events have the power not only to rejuvenate community members but also to anchor them back to the fundamental reasons why they come together. In doing so, they reaffirm their collective sense of purpose and solidarity. This reconnection to their roots is not always the initial aim of such events, but it emerges as a powerful outcome, providing participants not only with a sense of community and compassion but also an understanding of their shared objectives and the importance of collaborative endeavors.

The transcription begins:  I think from a point of view, I think it's been a success. I think the our profile has has been put out to our community, and in that respect we couldn't have done uh, a better job. I think of doing that. I think the from a community perspective, having spoken to quite a few people who have been here today. And, you know, there have been over over 100 or so people throughout the day that [00:00:30] have attended these four hours. Um, they they really liked the opportunity of having the space to to network and to, um, see what's going on to see other parts of the community that they normally might not engage with until you have a whole of community event. Um, but I think that whole aspect of history, of of thinking about it, um, in raising that profile, [00:01:00] whether it's for or other institutions or other organisations, the the the idea of having a Queer History Month, um, to be celebrated by by our community, I think is shows that there is a there is a there is relevance there and that there are ongoing issues for us to consider. So from all those perspectives. In my view, I think it has been, uh, a a remarkable success, [00:01:30] really. And as I say to have so many groups respond, uh, and to share a little bit about themselves is a really is a really affirming, um, affirming space for people. One of the things I love about these type of events is, um, just the the residue that kind of lingers. So the the energy, um, carries on and and I I found that with the art games as well, where, um, years later, you can you can pull on that energy that that you [00:02:00] you sense today. Yeah, that's absolutely right. I mean, the the in celebrating and talking, we do reenergize ourselves. We do get to back to the roots of why, uh, why these sorts of things or why what we do gives us that energy. We know that there's a, uh, that there's a reason why we get together. We know that it needs to continue, and it's just good to to be able [00:02:30] to touch base with those things. Even though that might not have been the original intention of the event. In fact, that's what happened um, so I totally agree that, uh, you come away feeling a sense of not just community, but a sense of of, uh, and not just a sense of compassion or or anything like that, but a sense of purpose. Uh, around. Why, um, we do the things we do in our community. Uh, [00:03:00] and who we do it with? Yeah. The full transcription of the recording ends.
