The award-winning authors of this small book with a big heart delve into Te Papa’s collections of over 1600 badges to examine how New Zealanders have used badges to join, belong, resist, defy and celebrate. From protest groups and Girl Guides to sports clubs, animal breeds, tino rangatiratanga and suffrage – there has been a badge for almost every New Zealand cause and endeavour. Tiny Statements explores how we have worn these small treasures to join, belong, resist, defy and celebrate.
