Bring the tamariki for a family-friendly tour of the exhibition ‘He Tohu’ at 10am and learn about three documents that shaped New Zealand. All ages with supervising adult welcome. The duration of the tour is 20 minutes.
We will sketch our ideas for our artwork with pencil and clipboards ‘in situ’ looking at art in the library building and be inspired by famous New Zealanders and the documents that have shaped New Zealand (Declaration of Independence, Treaty of Waitangi, Women’s Suffrage Petition) to create a big artwork together. What is your Dream for Aotearoa? Come and find out more about your identity, culture and how to express yourself. All ages welcome. Caregivers can grab a coffee but are expected to supervise their children during the duration of the programme. Please book in to secure your spot!
Our experienced learning facilitators will make this tour fun for children and adults alike. Staff will lead the activities and help children to be creative.
