Te Papa curators and award-winning authors Stephanie Gibson and Claire Regnault have recently written Tiny Statements: A social history of Aotearoa New Zealand in badges, published by Te Papa Press in April 2023. Badges are tiny objects with big stories: evidence that pride, identity and outrage can be wrapped up in small dimensions and worn like mini billboards. Throughout New Zealand’s history, people have used badges to join, belong, resist, defy and celebrate a myriad of causes and organisations.
