An exhibition, Worn: Prisoners' shoes and the stories they tell, invites viewers to reflect on the people behind the shoes and their path toward healing and change. It's on at Whirinaki Whare Taonga in Upper Hutt until 1 February 2026 and is open every day from 10am to 4pm.
Created in partnership with The Learning Connexion, Ara Poutama Aotearoa Department of Corrections and Whirinaki Whare Taonga, "Worn" features pairs of standard-issue prison shoes painted by prisoners from across Aotearoa studying art through The Learning Connexion. Each pair of shoes holds the story of those who wore them, stories of hardship, struggle, hope and new beginnings.
Alongside the shoes, words reveal these journeys and invite us to understand their experiences.
