Ordinary people who did something extraordinary

An outstanding exhibition honouring our whakapapa, history and the power of New Zealanders developed and toured by Wellington Museum, partnering with Vinnies Re Sew.

The 300 metre textile work remembers ordinary people in our history who did an extraordinary thing — signed a petition up and down the country so women could achieve the right to vote, as well as woman who’ve influenced the 546 makers.
