NSRAP hosts Q&A on 1988 HFX Pride exhibit

In 1988, Halifax hosted its first Pride march. More than 25 years later, images and ephemera from that march are now on display for all to see (and remember) in Dalhousie’s Student Union Building as part of an exhibit entitled The Hfx.Pride88 Exhibit.

This Thursday, exhibit creator Chris Aucoin will speak at a Q&A, hosted by the Nova Scotia Rainbow Action Project, about the history behind the exhibit, the Pride march and more. For more information, contact NSRAP at nsrap@nsrap.ca or check out the exhibit’s Facebook page.

Journalist, writer, blogger, producer.
