Suffrage in Stitches

Suffrage in Stitches is a textile work 300 metres long honouring the women and men who signed the 1893 Suffrage petition. It's the work of 546 individuals, families and groups from New Zealand and beyond, of all ages and abilities, during the 125th anniversary year of women’s suffrage in New Zealand.

It celebrates "ordinary" people who came together to achieve an extraordinary thing, and shows how one craft-based idea can connect and bring New Zealanders together from multiple backgrounds, communities and generations.

Suffrage in Stitches is developed and toured by Wellington Museum, in partnership with Vinnies Re Sew.
