This is the final weekend of the Being Chinese in Aotearoa: A Photographic Exhibition at the Auckland War Memorial Museum; presenting a glimpse of some of the Chinese New Zealanders who’s history spans 175 years in the country.

Helene Wong and I produced a series of comic stories to accompany the photographic exhibition. The Quiet Achievers: From Gardens to Gold Medals are a contemporary work, focusing on the surprising and unexpected stories of some of the Chinese New Zealanders who have lived, worked and contributed to Auckland.

Copies of the comics can be purchased at the Museum Store here.

Here are some photos of our comic works, during the final weekend of the exhibition:
