Join Judy Darragh to make badges and craft pins, then take them away and wear your cares. 

Alan Preston has an impressive collection of protest badges, featuring motifs and slogans for causes he cares about and movements that have shaped Aotearoa. Some of these badges are featured in his current exhibition Kātahi me ināianei / Now and then, so we’ve invited artist and activist Judy Darragh to guide us through making some pointed adornment of our own.

Come have a chat with Judy and Alan and do some hands on making. Tickets are $10 and all materials will be provided.
