Ans Westra 2024: {Suite} Wellington

 For the final three months of 2024, {Suite} Wellington will celebrate the life and work of the late Ans Westra with a series of exhibitions and community initiatives. On show will be a large amount of previously unseen material, aligning with a public programme of talks and events relating to Ans’ work and a city-wide campaign to identify more people portrayed in her 64 years of social documentary photography. Dutch-born Ans is best known for her images depicting life in Aotearoa New Zealand and in particular te ao Māori; her photographic catalogue is now widely thought of as a photo album of the nation. Less well known is her international work made in the 1960's and 1980's, and images of the landscape made in the 2000's.
