BRIDGE BETWEEN WORLDs ii

Wellington, New Zealand, 2022.

Bridge Between Worlds II extends the work developed in Bridge Between Worlds I (Auckland) to Wellington. 2022 marks 50 years since the start of the Gay Liberation movement in New Zealand in 1972, a movement led by lesbian and Māori rights activist Ngahuia Te Awekotuku. Bridge Between Worlds II is a multi-site project that acknowledges this important moment in New Zealand history whilst seeking to encourage positive connections between local communities in the present. It forms part of the project Make Visible: Te Whanganui-a-Tara supported by Wellington City Council, and was commissioned by Precinct Properties Ltd. Novak developed the work with local queer communities across multiple sites including:

1. With Love VI, Aon Centre, Wellington, New Zealand.

2. With Love VII, Generator (Bowen Street), Wellington, New Zealand.

3. With Love VIII, NTT Tower, Wellington, New Zealand.
