???? 51 Threads returns to Motueka

We're honoured to welcome back Noraini Milne’s powerful textile exhibition — a moving response to the Christchurch mosque attacks.

If you missed the event in December, 51 Threads will be showing at the Motueka Museum | Pupuri Taonga for two weeks this August. There will be a talk with Noraini at 10.30am on the 31st August.

Through story and stitch, it shares a transforming journey of grief, resilience, and connection.
