| VAANA MURAL 2 - THE NEXT GENERATION |
|
Title: Beneath the roof of sleeping leaves and dreams of trees untold |
| Young visual artists promote peace and social justice |
The second stage of renewal of the anti-nuclear Mural on Karangahape Road's reservoir wall made great progress in June when 10 young artists met with original VAANA (Visual Artists Against Nuclear Arms) artists, Miriam Cameron and John Nicol, at Disrupt Gallery to show their rough sketches for the next six panels. The design teams represent organisations from the greater Auckland region and the Pacific. |
| The six new works have been created by Kate Millington and Miriam Cameron (VAANA 1985), the Auckland Girls' Grammar School Maori unit, students from Media Design School, Disruptiv artists and Samoan artist Andy Leleisi'uao. |
The finished works are on exhibition at Disrupt Gallery. Six of the works have been selected by Nicol, Auckland City Senior Arts Planner Warren Pringle and Nora West. Digital designer Michelle Ardern will assemble them, with a biography panel, for Sharp Signs to replicate on vinyl and hang alongside the first eight. Unveiling October 7 at 1pm. |
VAANA 2 – Exhibition open till 19 Sept |
