@stuartyeates@cloudisland.nz Good work! I was amazed that they managed to get the panel for the exhibition - I can only imagine the conversations it took. Good on both the institutions for making it happen, imo. Courageous move.
Specific feedback for you to do with what you wish:
- it took me a while to realise the name of the article is also the name of the piece. Maybe something like 'the unaltered panel [name] was originally part of [etc etc]. the panel was altered in place [etc].] 'I think i was struggling here because the name of the piece only received the name when it went on exhibition at Adam Art Gal? (but then, I know the journey that panel has taken so someone coming to it for the first time might not have the confusion that I had.)
- last line para 2. "all charges were drop" change to "all charges were dropped"
- Would it be useful to add the dimensions of the panel?
- Do you want to mention the theatre show that was inspired by Te Wehi's experience in remand? https://www.theatreview.org.nz/production/ration-the-queens-veges/

@exlibrarykris@cloudisland.nz I'm not surprised at all. They have a pre-existing policy on loans to galleries and refusing a loan would almost certainly generate an OIA'able paper trail, which would have been worse... https://www.tepapa.govt.nz/learn/for-museums-and-galleries/how-guides/collection-management/borrowing-and-lending-objects

@exlibrarykris@cloudisland.nz changes made, except the the first. The opening is proving quite challenging to write.
