Collection Twenty — A Memory In Time

In collaboration with AUT's Student Services, Library, Te Āhuru Recreation Centre, Rainbow Room and Whānau Space, MMM welcomed staff and students back to campus in May 2022, inviting the community to share a memory they would like to relive. Memories make up the small steps in a larger journey. Whether they make us laugh or cry, they all help shape us into the people we are today.

Contributors responded to the prompt "Tell us about a memory you would like to relive," and encouraged to submit their contribution either by message or email, or drop off a postcard into the MMM Post box located across AUT's City Campus. The MMM Post box was hosted at the LIbrary (WA, Level 3) from 2–11 May, Te Āhuru Recreation Centre (WQ, Level 3) from 11–18 May, the Whānau Space (WB215) from 18–25 May and the Rainbow Room (WB119) from 25 May – 1 June 2022.
