Iwi: Te Whānau a Māhaki, Te Whānau a Kai, Ngāi Tai, Ngāpuhi
Description: Mixed Media Painting
This painting is part of a three-work series exploring the history of voting rights in Aotearoa.
In 1853, most Māori were unable to vote, as eligibility was tied to individual land ownership—something largely at odds with communal systems of whānau, hapū, and iwi. By 1859, this exclusion was reinforced, with the Crown confirming that Māori could only vote if granted individual title.
The repeated ‘X’ marks reference the signatures of those who were denied both access and agency—present, yet unheard.
