Make your ‘own tiny statement’ – badge making sessions

Heritage & History • Arts and Craft
Heritage Festival

We have been inspired! The book Tiny statements: a social history of Aotearoa New Zealand in badges by award-winning authors Stephanie Gibson and Claire Regnault, delves into Te Papa’s collections of over 1600 badges to examine how New Zealanders have used badges to join, to belong, resist, defy and celebrate. We invite you to make your own ‘tiny statement’ about a current issue or event at one of our badge making sessions. Perhaps one day in the future, your badge may become part of Te Papa’s collection!
