About the exhibition
Being Chinese in Aotearoa tells the story of one of New Zealand’s earliest immigrant groups, from before the Gold Rushes of the late 19th century to the present day.
Through compelling and rarely seen photographs, new works by contemporary New Zealand artists and writers and treasures from Auckland Museum, the exhibition tells the story of a major New Zealand cultural group—and their ongoing contribution to the development of Aotearoa’s society and economy.
We'd like to thank Auckland War Memorial Museum for their generous support of this event.
