Te Waka Huia Wellington Museum presents Fortune, a knitted feast for the eyes.
At the heart of Fortune is a knitted yum cha banquet, created by Auckland-based artist Bev Moon during lockdown in 2021. This decadent spread of wontons, dumplings, pork buns, spring rolls and more is hand-crafted with meticulous attention to detail, and explores history, culture and shared family traditions.
Bev’s work is a heartfelt homage to her Taishanese mother and grandmother, who were skilled cooks and knitters. It is also a reflection of their good fortune in being two of only 500 Chinese women and children granted temporary refuge in New Zealand during the Sino-Japanese War, allowing them to reunite with their family.
Accompanying the knitted feast are the sounds of a yum cha restaurant, hanging lanterns, images and objects from Bev’s family collection, and two new works loaned exclusively to Te Waka Huia Wellington Museum.

Saturday 30 November 2024 – Sunday 27 April 2025
Open daily 10am – 5pm | Wellington Museum
