The following text is from the foreword of the exhibition notes, written by Claudia Pond Eyley and Beth Serjeant - "This exhibition of bookworks, the second to be mounted by the Association of Women Artists, is an indication of the growing interest in New Zealand of this expanding field.

This year we have an increasing number of book objects to tease, taunt and test those who are prepared to spend time to browse through the exhibits. A hands on policy is the best way to view books, we ask you to please wear the gloves provided and to treat each volume gently - after all "Books mirror people!"

This National Film Unit documentary records the 18-month-long building process of a waka taua (war canoe): from the felling of the trees — opening with an awe-inspiring shot of the giant totara selected by master carver Piri Poutapu — to the ceremonial launch. The waka was commissioned by Māori Queen, Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu, and built at Tūrangawaewae Marae. The Harry Dansey-narrated film was significant in showing the importance of the canoe-building kaupapa alongside the everyday lives of the workers (at the freezing works, the pub).

NZ feminist documentary from 1977. It is a reflection of the female gendered socio-economic times of post-1950s New Zealand. I Want To Be Joan was made through editing conversations with women who attended the United Women’s Convention in Christchurch in 1977. It was a venture of involvement, and its creation has become a significant experience in many women’s lives. The purpose in making the film was to document the reality of women’s oppression, and to use that as a basis for discussion. There are examples of fine art from painters, Jacqueline Fahey, Robin White, and Lynne Zylstra, and Rachel McAlpine reads her poem, This is me Sheila. The six interviewees in the film were selected from twenty-two original interviews.

A discussion about painting and carving in New Zealand, and how these forms of art making have impacted on New Zealand's cultural identity. This film is based on W.L.

An accompanying booklet for the film is available online: https://www.victoria.ac.nz/stout-centre/research-units/towru/publications/Emblems-of-Identity.pdf

It's also about what happens in a place like New Zealand where kids can grow up in an absence of ritual, an absence of behaviour that has meaning in other parts of the world."

This documentary provides a look at the life and times of Mexico's most famous woman painter, Frida Kahlo. This film portrays the artist's life in the famous "Blue House" outside of Mexico City that she shared with her husband, the famous muralist and painter Diego Rivera. A near fatal bus accident, years of traumatic surgery, and endless heartache left Frida Kahlo devastated, relentlessly transferring her physical and emotional pain to the canvas. Readings from her diaries, archival photographs, and film footage offer an intimate portrait. Narrated by Sada Thompson and commentary written by Hayden Herrera, this documentary explores Kahlo as the center of the Mexican renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s. Not just as an artist, but as a tragic figure as it follows her painting career, her growing interest in politics and her turbulent relationship with her husband, Diego.

The Stories of Ruapekapeka is a documentary highlighting Northland's most infamous armed conflict. The battle of Ruapekapeka, fought in January 1846, was the final engagement in the war that Britain lost, as James Belich famously described it. But whether that means Ngāpuhi won the Northern War that had begun nine months earlier is in some ways a moot point. After 1846 the Crown turned its back on the north, which was left to become a backwater as the rest of the New Zealand economy boomed. Arguably, it has never really recovered. This documentary is hosted by RNZ's Māori Issues Correspondent Mihingarangi Forbes, and was made alongside Great Southern Television with funding from NZ on Air.
