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.
