We’ve been a little behind on socials of late! Here are couple pics from a special codesign Anti-Racism project with Kogarah Highschool this year! We ran a 4 week program focusing on art as activism and co created this mural based on the poem by poet and ornithologist J Drew Lanham ‘Joy is the Justice we Give Ourselves’. We feel really privileged to work with young people who have such big hearts, imagination and optimism for the way we shape and contribute to community. Thank you Kogarah Highschool and Gymea Community Centre, can’t wait for the next project 💛

A few more pics of the Tillys wall in Leichhardt!! Such a pleasure to paint in the park and meet some of the local community who would bring us blueberry muffins and hot chocolates in the afternoons! It also felt really nice to remember the passion and energy that infused community during the World Cup while we chose a few of the 700 notes to the Tillys to be featured on the wall! Big Thanks to 💛💛💛💛

Our co-founder Zoe was invited to chat with Karah and Sienna about art, activism and our work at muralisto on "What You Don't Hear” - a youth-led podcast created by Weave Youth Advocates. “What You Don’t Hear” is a platform that gives young people an opportunity to be seen and heard!! Check it out and enjoyyyy!! Xoė Sujii

We are so excited to finally share “What You Don't Hear” - a youth-led podcast created by our Weave Youth Advocates. “What You Don’t Hear” is a platform that gives young people an opportunity to be seen and heard. In our first episode, “Youth Advocacy - What is it?” - we talk about all the different types of advocacy you can get involved in. We spoke with artist, Zoe Edema and Youth Worker, pnuks about their dedication towards young people and advocacy. Link in our bio - please check it out and have a listen! You can also find the podcast on Spotify - check out our stories for more info. @weavedigitalthreads @muralisto @pnuks @_siennapavone @karah.davis @buzzsprout #WhatYouDontHearPodcast #StoryThreads #WeaveDigitalThreads #YouthLed #YouthVoices #YouthPodcast #YouthMatters #Advocacy #YouthAdvocates

The finished mural stretches over an epic 30m and involved 10days painting on site in the sunshine and occasionally under cover waiting out the July storms. When discussing ideas of belonging and community key symbols were identified by our group including the bee as the ultimate community carer ensuring flowers bloom and ecosystems flourish, the sunflower, magnolia, sun, moon and ocean connect us to place, and symbolise the resilience of women, and the growth we experience when we support one another !! Thank you St.Caths for the space to create, connect and envision !!! 💓💓💓💓
