Voices of Dissent Exhibition

Event date: Tuesday, 27 May 2025 | 10:00 AM to Tuesday, 24 June 2025 | 02:00 PM

Voices of Dissent is an exhibition of protest prints from the Te Kowhai Print Trust archive.

Print has always been a medium of the people – a force of resistance, agency, and defiance, capable of disseminating radical thought beyond borders and across time. From hand-carved lino to screen-printed posters, Voices of Dissent explores the print as political agency.

In the context of contemporary struggles, print remains an uncompromising medium of dissent. These works are bound by their shared commitment to resistance. The friction of ink against fibre transforms an idea into an artifact, each impression a declaration, each reproduction a defiance against erasure. The press is not just a tool – it is a witness, a weapon, a site of radical possibility.

This exhibition invites you to engage with the weight of protest in its most material form. These works assert their presence through texture, pressure, and repetition. Protest made material. Voices made visible. The ink will not be erased.

Open hours:

• Monday to Thursday: 10:00am to 2:00pm
• Friday to Sunday: Closed
