Activist and artist Diane Prince is a woman of many talents. She is a painter, weaver, installation artist, set designer and educator.
As a young woman, Diane was a note taker at the occupation of Takaparawhau/Bastion Point, an experience that set her on a path weaving activism and advocacy into her work.
Her 1995 piece Flagging the Future: Te Kiritangata - The Last Palisade encouraged visitors to stand on the New Zealand flag. A selection of her work opens in an exhibition in her honour at Pataka Art + Museum.
