Featuring nine internationally recognised female street artists at the top of the global game, Here & Out will run from 27 March to 22 April, and showcase their incredible creative talents, inspired by the artists’ COVID-19 experiences.
Here & Out reimagines street art, combining it with digital creations to provide a new visual experience that will enrich our visual, public arts scene. It makes international art accessible in public spaces at a time when we cannot travel.
Here & Out will inspire audiences with exposure to top Aotearoa and international female artists, through a series of talks, workshops, an art show and public performances.
The programme includes live mural painting and a digital mural display, a vibrant exhibition (replicated online), and a waterfront walk of larger-than-life puppets The Andean Cat (5m) and the Big Girls, supported by the Latin group Ollin Yoliztli dancers and musicians.
Street art has grown exponentially thanks to the many exceptional murals painted world-wide, festivals, and photographic and video documentation, as well as rapid online sharing. Subsequently, a huge physical-digital contemporary art movement across the globe is constantly and rapidly expanding.
