As Public Programmes Manager for Museums Wellington, I invited Linda Hansen to be a guest speaker during our weekend of Parihaka celebrations 5th – 6th November 2022.
Linda’s one-hour storytelling session highlighted peacemakers in Aotearoa from the past to the present time, including those from Parihaka.
Questions abounded at the end of her lively, illustrated story and the appreciative audience lingered for quite some time afterwards, talking and revisiting the topic.
Feedback confirms it was a beautiful presentation, celebrating nonviolence in this country in an engaging and wholly positive way.
