Organised by Dunedin community artist Janet de Wagt, the project is a partnership with Heritage New Zealand and Creative New Zealand, held in heritage buildings throughout the country.
It arrived at the Otago Pioneer Women’s Hall in Dunedin on Saturday in the shape of a community workshop to create the banners.
Ms de Wagt said people who attended were helping create about 30 banners, attached together, that would hang over four storeys of the Old Government Buildings in Wellington.
She said the workshops had started in Auckland and would finish in Gore in mid-December, with the banners to be hung in April next year.
The reaction to the workshops had been ‘‘amazing’’, with people interested in the history of the issue, and working together now.
