Open edition Print
‘Whare Tangata’ was created live at the 2026 World Rural Health Conference (WONCA) in Wellington, Aotearoa, through a collaboration between Christchurch Artist Ellie Compton and Mobile Health Group.
Over three days, rural health professionals from around the world were invited to contribute a word, thought, or sketch reflecting their experiences of rural Hauora. Each contribution was woven into the final piece. The result is a largescale visual tapestry capturing the collective voice of rural communities: their challenges, their resilience, and the deep sense of connection that binds people and place.
This artwork also carries the mana of Russell Riki, Kaumātua to Board and Chairperson, Fiona Bolden at Hauora Taiwhenua Rural Health Network, who gifted its name during the conference’s closing ceremony. His contribution acknowledges the wairua, the stories, and the collective voice embedded within the piece.
Every thread connected. Every story honoured.
