Weaving together intimate audio stories and powerful portrait photography, Wāhine is an immersive exhibition that amplifies Māori women’s voices around Aotearoa.

Offering our communities the opportunity to be enriched by their life stories while fostering mutual understanding, Wāhine is a touring exhibition that will expand at each new location around Aotearoa by inviting a wahine from a local iwi to join the kaupapa.

Discover the Tāmaki Makaurau wahine and more in central Auckland this March.
