The crew was asked to produce a Welcome to New Brighton mural that involved the community, as the concept was developed it was agreed to use the te reo M\u0101ori name for the area of New Brighton and the wetlands around QEII: \u014crua Paeroa. The organisers of the NBOAF posted an explanation of the name on their social media: \"The name \u014crua paeroa has been known to refer to both the area of New Brighton and Travis Wetlands. \u014crua paeroa was known as the place where strong east winds blew in from the sea. New Brighton and Te Ihutai/the Avon-Heathcote Estuary have considerable cultural and historical importance for Ng\u0101i Tahu and Ng\u0101i T\u016b\u0101huriri. It has been a place of settlement and use \u2013 in particular, for mahinga kai purposes \u2013 for the people of Ng\u0101i Tahu for over 600 years. During the warmer months, \u014crua paeroa was a popular site for M\u0101ori to swim. The name is also applied to both a beach nearby where patiki (flounder), patiki rore (sole) and shellfish were gathered and to the general location of the New Brighton town centre.\r\nThe \u014crua paeroa Travis Wetlands is an area of swamp known at one time to link with the sea. Ng\u0101i Tahu traditions talk of mak\u014d/sharks or pioke/rigsharks being caught here at certain times of the year, during periods when the swamp would connect to the sea and marine fish could be supported when saltwater inundated the freshwater swamp.The p\u0101, known as Te Kai a te Karoro, was an early Waitaha and Ng\u0101ti Mamoe village located on the sandpit near present day South New Brighton Park. The margin of the Estuary and the mouths of the \u014ct\u0101karo/Avon and \u014cp\u0101waho/Heathcote rivers which flow into it, were important mahinga kai areas.\r\nHistorically, Te Karoro Karoro \u2013 translating to mean \u2018the cries of seagulls\u2019 \u2013 was a wetland and dune environment covered in p\u0101titi (native grass), w\u012bw\u012b (rushes), eelgrass and scrub.\r\nThe area supported an abundance of wildlife and was an important food and resource gathering area for Ng\u0101i Tahu/Ng\u0101i T\u016b\u0101huriri. The spit was formed after World War II, from sand carried to the coast by the Rakahuri/Ashley and Waimakariri Rivers, where it was dispersed along the foreshore by sea currents, eventually building up to enclose Te Ihutai. Te Ihutai was a significant fishery for Ng\u0101i Tahu wh\u0101nui, the manawhenua of Ng\u0101i T\u016bahuriri and the travellers who voyaged along the eastern coast. The estuary was renowned for its diverse \u2013 and regularly in abundance \u2013 variety of fish, shellfish and birds. (Segments above have been taken from the Matapopore Cultural Design Strategy: \u014cRUA PAEROA.)\" \r\nThe work engaged with the New Brighton community by inviting people to help paint the blocks of colour inside the letters that had been gridded out by the Fiksate crew. As a result of this communal approach the work was completed in just one day in early March 2020.

Organiser Gavin Fantastic had always envisaged the festival as, in part, a way to change perceptions around graffiti art, and this wall brought together a number of artists to produced traditional graffiti pieces in a shared colour palette. In doing so, the letter-form focus of graffiti was celebrated (as were accompanying character works, a long feature of graffiti culture) and re-considered as a form of legal public art. The styles ranged from more simplified, legible names to almost indecipherable wildstyles, representative of the cacophony of voices evident across the stretching wall. \r\nArtist featured included: Ysek_7, Morepork, Lurq, Ikarus, Pesto, Weks, Tepid, Dove, Sewer, Dofus, Dozer, Drows, Wager, and Vesil.", "image": "artwork/IMG_20200924_161026.jpg", "watermarked_image": "API_artwork/IMG_20200924_161026-watermarked.jpg", "cropping": "0,2332,0,2332", "cropped_image": "artwork/IMG_20200902_091410.jpg.10000x10000_q85_box-0,2499,2368,3966_crop_detail.jpg", "photo_credit": "Reuben Woods", "photo_credit_email": null, "city": "Christchurch", "link": null, "location": "SRID=4326;POINT (172.7284643983117 -43.50776619612466)", "validated": true, "street": "Seaview Road", "admin_notes": "", "map_enabled": true, "smart_cities": true, "slug": "traditional-graffiti-jam-wall", "submitter_description": "", "submitter_name": null, "submitter_email": null, "video_url": null, "artists": [], "crews": [], "likes": [], "checkins": []}}, {"model": "streetart.artwork", "pk": 513, "fields": {"category": 22, "title": "", "commission_date": "", "status": 1, "decommission_date": "", "description": "", "image": "artwork/Ikarus_NewBrighton_SisterEvie_lchan.jpg", "watermarked_image": "API_artwork/Ikarus_NewBrighton_SisterEvie_lchan-watermarked.jpg", "cropping": "567,124,4716,2687", "cropped_image": "artwork/Ikarus_NewBrighton_SisterEvie_lchan.jpg.10000x10000_q85_box-567,124,4716,2687_crop_detail.jpg", "photo_credit": "", "photo_credit_email": null, "city": "Christchurch", "link": "", "location": "SRID=4326;POINT (172.7284861402586 -43.50790050426721)", "validated": true, "street": "", "admin_notes": "check with reuben that we have the right location...?", "map_enabled": true, "smart_cities": true, "slug": "513", "submitter_description": "", "submitter_name": "", "submitter_email": "", "video_url": null, "artists": [357], "crews": [67], "likes": [], "checkins": []}}, {"model": "streetart.artwork", "pk": 532, "fields": {"category": 21, "title": "", "commission_date": "", "status": 1, "decommission_date": "", "description": "", "image": "artwork/Suffra_jests_lchan.jpg", "watermarked_image": "API_artwork/Suffra_jests_lchan-watermarked.jpg", "cropping": "2150,369,4577,2796", "cropped_image": "", "photo_credit": "", "photo_credit_email": null, "city": "Christchurch", "link": "", "location": "SRID=4326;POINT (172.7285075979307 -43.50782658088123)", "validated": true, "street": "", "admin_notes": "", "map_enabled": true, "smart_cities": true, "slug": "532", "submitter_description": "", "submitter_name": "", "submitter_email": "", "video_url": null, "artists": [], "crews": [], "likes": [112], "checkins": [112]}}, {"model": "streetart.artwork", "pk": 505, "fields": {"category": 21, "title": "City of Light", "commission_date": "", "status": 1, "decommission_date": "", "description": "Painted by Pops, the poem on the right is composed by New Brighton resident \u2018Sister\u2019 Evie, and is an ode to the survival of the communities of Christchurch in the wake if the earthquakes, a declaration of the stoic continuation of life in the face of such challenges.
