The Shadows of Shoah Exhibition was launched by New Zealand Prime Minister John Key at a United Nations International Holocaust Remembrance Day event in 2013. Over the period till 2016, this multidisciplinary artistic and educational work toured a total of nineteen art galleries, museums, and public spaces - from Whangarei, NZ's northernmost city to its southernmost, Invercargill.
The Shadows of Shoah Exhibition is presently in storage awaiting refurbishment. Upon refurbishment we are seeking to place the exhibition in Tauranga, semi-permanently or permanently.
