Talk

Past event

Philip Carter Family Auditorium

Free

Bronwyn Labrum (head of New Zealand and Pacific Cultures at Te Papa) speaks about her new book Real Modern: Everyday New Zealand in the 1950s and 1960s, which uses the ordinary objects of the post war years to tell the story of everyday New Zealanders during this fascinating time.

Bronwyn will describe how the fashions of the time both influenced, and were shaped by, the popular culture, politics, economics and social history of this much-loved and often discussed period in our country's history. This will be an extraordinary talk about ordinary things.
