In Wellington? See the posters on the wall in the foyer at BWX, 282 Wakefield Street, Pōneke >> open 7.30am–6.30pm weekdays and 10.00am–4.00pm on weekends.

This display was on view from 2019 – 2022. Our thanks to the late building owner, art historian, museums consultant, documentary maker, and former Director of the National Gallery, Luit Bieringa (who also scrubbed and prepped the concrete wall, so Rob Cherry could position the central poster to set the grid so Luit could then hang the full set of nine) for offering his BWX space and supporting our kaupapa.

Find out more about each of the posters (view them large), and why they were made:

— the three original protest posters (40/3, archive, and jury) 
— the subsequent 42/3, and updated archive posters
— Ella Sutherland’s 25 Bros in a Row
— Bryn Fenemor’s Diptych Study
— our very first Directory ‘template’ poster
