Badge Room
Been There, Got the Badge is the full title of this installation by Catherine Peters and Claire Griffiths. It is an exploration into the very fabric of Blackpool – using a badge for creative expression, making use of its connotations to working-class movements and its symbol of allegiance to particular times and places.
