Mihi is an endless scroll of names that lights up Te Papa, rising into the sky.

Originally inspired by petitions and by those who fight to make a difference, this interactive projection work celebrates everyone in Aotearoa New Zealand who has worked tirelessly to eliminate Covid-19.

It gives visibility to those who might otherwise go unrecognised and says clearly: thank you, we see you, and you are heroes.

Anyone can add the names of those whose contribution they’d like to celebrate at www.shorewardsurge.com
