“I will not agree to my children going to shed their blood.
Though your words are strong,
you will not move me to help you…
you can fight your own fight
until the end”
– quote from the centenary exhibition at the Wellington National Library
The GALLIPOLI: The Scale of War exhibition at Te Papa
Anzac Day in 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landings at Gallipoli…How’s this for engagement with/reflection on war?
the red line you follow through the exhibition follows the timeline of the engagements with a cross symbolising each life lost along the way in a very confronting impression of the price for each metre of land gained… and lost.
