This exhibition draws on a major new publication from Te Papa Press and curator Lissa Mitchell. It presents a selection of portraits made by women photographers, and studio operators and employees, between 1860 and 1960.

Women have largely been left out of histories of photography in Aotearoa – until now.

From hand-coloured portraits to family albums, these works showcase the talent and determination of their makers.



Ka takea mai tēnei whakaaturanga i tētahi whakaputanga matua hou nā Te Papa Press me Lissa Mitchell, te kairauhī. He whakaatu i tētahi kōwhiringa o ngā whakaahua kiritangata he mea waihanga e ngā wāhine kaiwhakaahua, kaiwhakahaere taupuni, kaimahi hoki, i waenga i ngā tau 1860 ki 1960.

Ko te nuinga o ngā wāhine kua waiho ki waho i ngā kōrero whakaahua i Aotearoa – kua kore e pērā ināianei.

Mai i ngā whakaahua kiritangata i tākanohia e te ringa, ki ngā puka whakaahua ā-whānau, ko tā ēnei mahinga, he whakaatu i te pūmanawa me te manawanui o ō rātou kaiwaihanga.
