RAYS OF RESISTANCE

Positive East presents Rays of Resistance – an unforgettable evening of celebration set against the powerful backdrop of the arts' role in HIV/AIDS activism.

Get ready for a dazzling display of music, dance, and spoken word performances. Witness how seminal artworks from the past challenged stigma and fostered a sense of community, while powerful voices of today ignite hope and inspire action.

The stunning line-up includes: ROY INC, Voguerites, Tom Rasmussen, HIV Voices, Victoria Park Singers, DJ Terry T-REX and Pam Hogg.

Immerse yourself in seminal artworks from the past that helped tackle stigma, and reflected notions of belonging and community when it comes to HIV/AIDS. Be moved by music, dance, and spoken word from the present that ignite hope and empower change.

Join the party, raise your voice, and shine a light on a brighter future free from stigma!

Please note: This is a standing event. There will be some seats available for anyone less able to stand.

Proceeds of the night and 100% of all tickets sold will go towards supporting Positive East’s Advice Service, which provides people living with HIV access to secure, safe and stable housing.
