Bloodsuckers After Dark: Pride Night

🌙 Come out after dark for a night of fierce fun inspired by Bloodsuckers: Nature's Vampires. Explore how blood has shaped queer culture—from vampire iconography and camp horror to HIV/AIDS activism, stigma, and resistance.

Explore the exhibition, catch a talk, grab a drink at the bar, and enjoy the vibes. This special evening marks 49 years to the day since the first Mardi Gras marched past the Museum!

Talk: Bloodlines: Horror, Desire and the Politics of Blood

Join our special guest speakers for a conversation exploring queer histories of secrecy, stigma, and resilience—and the reclamation of these stories through joy, defiant visibility, and gothic and vampiric rebellion.

Held 49 years to the day since the first Mardi Gras marched past the Museum, this talk reflects on the power of cultural institutions to hold, honour, and illuminate stories once kept in the shadows.
