Notes

This grappling hook was made in late August- early September 1981. The donor took part in several of the anti-apartheid protests organised around the Springbok rugby tour, and for the Eden Park test was part of the Biko Squad (named for South African activist Steve Biko). According to the donor, the hook was used to get over walls and fences if necessary - "Never used in anger though". This potent object speaks directly to a significant event in the history of civil disturbance and race relations in New Zealand. As a handmade object, it captures the "rough and ready" approach everyday citizens took when mobilising against the tour.
