Aiga Nuanua: Evergreen

Join us for a special coffee and toasted sandwich while listening to stories about the legendary Evergreen Coffeehouse, established by icon Chrissy Wītoko, or better known as Aunty Chrissy to so many in Pōneke.

The Evergreen was a haven for the LGBTQIA+ community; this kōrero will focus on those who worked with her and for whom the Evergreen holds a special place in collective memory; our indigenous takataapui and whakawāhine community.

The Evergreen Coffeehouse sign is part of Wellington Museum’s collection and can be found on the second floor as part of the Ngā Heke exhibition.
