Ans Westra documented New Zealand life through her photography for more than six decades, taking an estimated 320,000 images; 160,000 of them feature people.
Now her family, and the managers of the Ans Westra archive, are trying to track down those who feature in her work.
Over the coming months, Suite Gallery on Wellington's Cuba St is holding a series of exhibitions and community initiatives to celebrate the breadth and diversity of Westra's work, and a citywide campaign to connect with any living subjects.
Ans Westra's daughter Lisa van Hulst and Suite Gallery director David Alsop who together are guardians of the Ans Westra archive join Kathryn.
