ReGeneration Mural Project Complete!

For the last two and a half months I’ve been working as a facilitator with local Wellington schools, the City Arts team at Wellington City Council, the Brooklyn community, and Enviroschools to plan and design a mural. It’s been an awesome collaborative process and I am pleased to say that after much hard work the mural is now finished.

This project involved submissions from students at schools throughout the Wellington region. A core group of teenagers were involved at every step with decision making.
