A new mural by Liberation Library Aotearoa has been unveiled on Edinburgh Street off Karangahape Road.
Inspired by artist and producer Chris McBride and event producer and consultant Tigilau Ness’ travel together to the Black Panther Party’s 50th Anniversary celebrations in Oakland California in 2016, the mural project seeks to honour the historical presence of the Polynesian Panthers and the Black Panther Party and the social justice issues they stand for.
In checking in with the past through such groups, as well as historical events like the Dawn Raids in Aotearoa, these murals also speak to the current and future hopes for the well-being of Pasifika in Aotearoa.
The artists involved in this latest project are Numangatini Mackenzie, Toa Sieke Taihia, Huriana Kopeke Te-Aho, Simon Endres and Chris McBride.
Sofia had a kōrero with Chris and Tigilau about the project.
