Celebrating Suffrage month
As part of the celebrations for Suffrage month in September, the National Library Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa, will bring together entrepreneurs, thinkers, performers and historians for a transformative event called ‘Tapu: Te Awa Atua and the reclamation of Mana Wahine’.
Kōrero, performance and workshopping on the topic of Te Awa Atua (The Sacred River)
The event will comprise a dynamic afternoon of kōrero, performance and workshopping on the topic of Te Awa Atua (The Sacred River), the tapu process of the menstrual cycle.
Through the lens of te ao Māori we will explore the historical and colonial context, experiences of tupuna, Mareikura (Māori goddesses) and contemporary practices and initiatives which help Aotearoa’s mana wahine reclaim their bodies and traditional practices as they relate to te awa atua. Through conversation around these issues we aim to reclaim, demystify and decolonise issues related to women’s bodies and to discover new and ancient ways to care for, cherish and celebrate them.
There will be refreshments and a book signing with Ngahuia Murphy author of Te Awa Atua: Menstruation in the pre-colonial Maori World. The newly opened exhibition Pūkana: Moments in Māori Performance will also be open to view before, during the break and after the event.
Visit our pop-up exhibition of Tapu: Te Awa Atua posters and an installation by Yoobee School of Design students and our Tapu commissioned artwork by Robyn Kahukiwa
Empowering women
By reflecting on the ways in which attitudes to women’s bodies and menstruation have shaped the way women see themselves and their value, we aim to empower women, especially young, indigenous and minority women, to talk about these issues while considering history, Papatuanuku, period poverty and the creation of new traditions.
Communication and connection are powerful tools and through the sharing of stories and mythology ‘Tapu: Te Awa Atua and the reclamation of Mana Wahine’ will support and engender dialogue, sharing of knowledge and the fostering of mutual understanding across ethnicities, generations, gender and socio-economic groups.

Celebrating the signing of the Suffrage Petition
Come and see our pop-up exhibition of posters, designed by students of Wellington’s Youbee School of Design as part of the National Library’s inaugural Tapu Festival, the first season of which is Mahina
The festival marks the anniversary of the signing of the Suffrage Petition, which is housed in the He Tohu exhibition at the Library. The Petition represents the hopes and dreams of New Zealand women who campaigned vigorously for the right to vote and to have a voice in our Nation’s future.
Acknowledging the women who campaigned for the right to vote.
Tapu is a way for us to acknowledge these women, the progress we have made and highlight those issues where progress is still needed.
Tapu is sacred and Mahina is the moon. For this first festival we have focused on Te Awa Atua — the menstrual cycle as means of highlighting issues related to — body image, body identity, menstruation and menopause — and why there is still shame and confusion around them.
Student's brief and inspiration for posters
The students have responded to this brief and to some keywords provided for inspiration: Divine, mystery, sacred, curious, discovery, power, celebration, beauty, shame, proud, uplifting, joyful, knowledge…
Mahina also features a new work by artist Robyn Kahukiwa, commissioned to complement the student’s contribution to the Tapu Festival.

Celebrating Women's Suffrage Day 2019
We are holding a special 'Connecting to Collections' presentation in September to mark Women’s Suffrage Day 2019.
The He Tohu exhibition displays several constitutional documents from Archives New Zealand’s holdings, including the Women’s Suffrage Petition — but unlike the others, the Petition scroll is moved on regularly to show new signatures. Anna Whitehead explains the preservation reasons why this is the case, and Stef Lash uncovers some insights into the newly-revealed signatories on display.
Conservation Clinic
Following Anna and Stef's talk there will be an opportunity to get preservation advice on the care, handling and storage of your treasured family items from Field Conservator Vicki-Anne Heikell. Please note that conservators are not able to provide valuations.
About the speakers
Anna works at Archives New Zealand as a conservator, her specialisms are book and paper conservation. Her role is to preserve the Nation’s documentary heritage material and her most exciting role to date in New Zealand is as Archives NZ’s lead conservator for the He Tohu exhibition.
Stefanie Lash, Principal Advisor Strategy and Planning at Archives NZ, was the Lead Curator of He Tohu, and has a special interest in the social history behind the enfranchisement of New Zealand women.
Vicki-Anne Heikell is a Field Conservator at that National Library. Vicki-Anne works on paper (fine art, manuscripts and archives, ephemera); working with Maori community groups, iwi, hapu, whanau, developing strategies for care of paper-based collections; workshops on collections care for Maori organisations, iwi, hapu and whanau
