The party starts now.
Celebrate the launch of PARTY HARD – After the Party with an evening of live beats, conversation and first access to this bold new exhibition at Tasma Terrace.
Opening night brings together historic treasures and contemporary works by Gerard O’Connor, Richard Nylon and Gwendolynne, spanning Edwardian soirées, early Mardi Gras and today’s queer club culture. It’s a night to mark the beginning of an exhibition that honours pleasure, protest and the stories stitched into what we wear.
