Join advocate and founder of #KeepTheDollsVisible, Shar, as we doll up for the GALA evening and celebrate Trans visibility, expression and lived experience.

Shar is bringing the guys with the cams — a team of photographers who share their skills through Time for Purpose, and who are standing in solidarity with Shar’s leadership and vision in response to the Government’s proposed gender definitions bill.

Come get your mug shot! Whether you’re getting glammed up, showing face, or simply wanting to stand alongside our trans whānau, this is an opportunity to make ourselves visible, together.

Trans whānau who are keen can also support the kaupapa by sharing your image with #KeepTheDollsVisible — because visibility is powerful, solidarity is beautiful, and as Shar reminds us:

“Kens are dolls too.”
