STREET PRINTS JAPAN

ストリートプリントジャパン

We want to use Art to connect the indigenous people of New Zealand with Ainu, who are the indigenous people of Japan.

ニュージーランドの先住民族と日本の先住民族であるアイヌ族をつなぐためにアートを使いたいのです

MURALS

ムラル

Our focus is to paint twelve murals by Four Artists from Aotearoa, Four Artists from Japan and Four Artists from the rest of the world along with local Youth in a Youth Mentoring Program to create something beautiful for a city in the island of Hakkaido. The walls will be specifically located in a city in the heart of the Ainu people who are indigenous to Japan. Bringing awareness to their people and creating equality and build connections with the community.

WORKSHOPS
