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.

Throughout New Zealand’s history, people have used badges to join, belong, resist, defy and celebrate a myriad of causes and organisations.
