School Holidays: Create an event poster

The Team from Alexander Turnbull Library

Book the tamariki in to be inspired by a family-friendly tour of the exhibition ‘Pūkana: moments in Māori performance’ at 10am, followed by a drop in craft session to learn about event posters and create your own!
Date: Thursday 16th July 2020
Time: 10am-12pm

Cost: Free event

Venue: Te Ahumairangi (Ground Floor), National Library of New Zealand, Corner of Molesworth and Aitken St, Thorndon

The day will start with a tour of the exhibition ‘Pūkana: moments in Maori performance’ at 10am. An incredible opportunity to see an exhibition celebrating Māori performance and performers across time and genres. A big part of performing is creating the marketing behind the performance. From advertising to posters, explore the marketing featured in Pūkana and create your own!
We’ll also have example images from the Ephemera collection in the Alexander Turnbull Library to help inspire you!
Tamariki of all ages are welcome but must have a supervising adult. Bookings are required for the tour so email your details to bookings@hetohu.nz.
