Smart Talk, Great Music Served Up LATE at Auckland Museum
Auckland Museum comes alive on the first Thursday evening of each month with the popular series, LATE at the Museum. Last year's LATE season welcomed a year-long investigation into the theme of innovation – featuring panel discussions with this country’s leading innovators and music by our top performers. This year’s season of LATE at the Museum saw us respond to topical issues and collection and exhibition themes.

THE OCTOBER LATE
LATE Highlights:
Life in the Margins - Otherness in New Zealand
Thursday, 6 October 2011
That times have changed was the overriding consensus for the last LATE of 2011 – and that those changes have led to a far more tolerant society than the New Zealand of the 50s, 60s and 70s. In a great panel discussion lead by Media7’s Russell Brown, everything else was up for debate with Philip Patston, Ella Henry, David Cohen and Jacinda Ardern.
The night finished with an incredible insight into the world of drag with two of Auckland’s best known drag artists Buckwheat and Tess Tickle revealing how they got into drag, what their families thought and how they transform into the glamorous personas before closing with a fabulous cabaret. LATE guests finished the night with an inspired jam session from DJ producer Christoph El Truento, Miso, B.Haru, Isaac Aesili and Lui T.
