This fund was focussed on empowering future generations of young women through spotlighting the legacies of those who have gone before. In this case, an advisory panel, consisting of female leaders, including Mana Whenua representation, shortlisted a roll call of incredible w\u0101hine toa from the city's (and wider region's) history. Eventually five women were selected to be included in the mural, each representing the achievement of significant milestones for w\u0101hine and for having made significant change within our communities.\r\nThe women featured in the mural include singer, broadcaster and champion for M\u0101ori culture and language, Airini Nga Roimata Grennell, award winning writer and activist in feminism, social justice and peace movements Elsie Locke, prominent activist in the fields of M\u0101ori welfare and health Erihapeti Rehu-Murchie, conservationist and leader in Ng\u0101i Tahu Wharetutu Te Aroha Stirling, and paraplegic Olympic archer who won Commonwealth Games Gold competing against able bodied competitors Neroli Fairhall.\r\nThe artists explained their design as such: \"Our concept was firstly informed by Mana Whenua. Our design direction began by wanting to highlight each w\u0101hine and their own stories and have them placed within Patiki to form k\u0101hui whet\u016b (a constellation or cluster of stars). In doing this, they all have their own space and mana. The central image is grounding and reflects the connection to the w\u0101hine on the pae. The central w\u0101hine's glance (Airini Grennell Gopas) is directly towards the audience and gives a sense of strong visual indication of a glare and watching you approach the wall. The use of niho taniwha (the triangle shapes) are used to symbolize connection of people and community. The patiki (diamond shapes) can be used (depending on iwi) for abundance. So we used this to symbolize the w\u0101hine leaving such a large legacy and leaving so much to future generations. The use of colours was important with the inner patiki being a bright colour to highlight each legacy and symbolize the brightness of the stars and remembrance to those who have passed.\"\r\nThe mural was fittingly unveiled and blessed on the occasion of the 130th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage in Aotearoa. \r\nA shining legacy for the future that pays tribute to our past, this meaningful addition to our city was supported by Watch This Space, ChristchurchNZ, the Christchurch Foundation and more.", "image": "artwork/IMG20230926113226.jpg", "watermarked_image": "API_artwork/IMG20230926113226-watermarked.jpg", "cropping": "560,0,3516,1834", "cropped_image": "artwork/IMG20230926113226.jpg.10000x10000_q85_box-560,0,3516,1834_crop_detail.jpg", "photo_credit": null, "photo_credit_email": null, "city": "Christchurch", "link": null, "location": "SRID=4326;POINT (172.6346109251475 -43.5322397042148)", "validated": true, "street": "92 Hereford Street", "admin_notes": "", "map_enabled": true, "smart_cities": true, "slug": "wahine-toa-mural", "submitter_description": "", "submitter_name": null, "submitter_email": null, "video_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igJWM4UlB9A", "artists": [562, 473], "crews": [], "likes": [], "checkins": []}}, {"model": "streetart.artwork", "pk": 879, "fields": {"category": 21, "title": "Spark Lane", "commission_date": "2020", "status": 1, "decommission_date": null, "description": "Commissioned by Spark, Wongi 'Freak' Wilson's striking addition to Spark Lane gives a sense of completion to an area long marked by construction and temporary fencing.

Providing a new platform for urban artists to present and explore the way their work embeds within the urban landscape.\r\nRawcliffe has produced a number of murals across central Otautahi, but the Little Street Art Festival provided the artist a perfect opportunity to combine her detailed, almost obsessive studio practice with the potential for social encounters provided by the public nature of these installations.\r\nRendered in Rawcliffe's stunning dry-brush style and employing her striking tightly cropped compositions and direct gazes, these works encourage the audience to reflect on the relationship between the subject and the viewer - to consider if they are the watcher or the watched, if they are observing or if they have become an intruder. The subtle colour palette, which draws on the surrounding environment, in this case the terracotta brickwork and dark trim of the stunning and under-refurbishment 'Grand' building in Cathedral Square, affords a subtlety of existence within the bustle of the setting, a sense that contrasts with the way the gaze follows the passerby watchfully. While ultimately a temporary addition, the impact of Gazer is a powerful reminder of the variety of encounters across the cityscape and an indication of an artist who masterfully captures and subverts the experience of observation.\r\nFor more information about The Little Street Art Festival, visit https://www.littlestreetartfestival.co.nz and follow the festival on social media: @thelittlestreetartfestival", "image": "artwork/GAZER_2023.jpg", "watermarked_image": "API_artwork/GAZER_2023-watermarked.jpg", "cropping": "0,840,1449,1737", "cropped_image": "", "photo_credit": "Jessie Rawcliffe", "photo_credit_email": null, "city": "Christchurch", "link": "https://www.littlestreetartfestival.co.nz/jessie-rawcliffe", "location": "SRID=4326;POINT (172.6358638996993 -43.53142729164528)", "validated": true, "street": "Cathedral Square", "admin_notes": "", "map_enabled": true, "smart_cities": true, "slug": "gazer", "submitter_description": "", "submitter_name": null, "submitter_email": null, "video_url": null, "artists": [551], "crews": [], "likes": [], "checkins": []}}, {"model": "streetart.artwork", "pk": 625, "fields": {"category": 21, "title": null, "commission_date": "December 2017", "status": 1, "decommission_date": null, "description": "When you see this, you know it's a Cracked Ink work.
