Inspired by The Peace Museum’s enviable collection of pin badges, this event brings together stella contributions from an eye-popping line up of artistic talent.

Artists from our very own district will be joined by those from far and wide, each adding their own visual voice to a collective and compelling call for peace. Giant badges are set to not only fill the walls of the museum, but also spill out onto the streets of Bradford, popping up in a variety of outdoor locations.

Join us on Saturday the 27th September to celebrate the opening of the exhibition and get embroiled in all manner of hands-on goings on, alongside some of our contributing artists !
