Te Kowhai Print Trust

Voices of Dissent. 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 fiber 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.

Join us for the opening of this inaugural archive exhibition at 5 PM on May 24
