New Community Mural Co-Designed with Kids
Our new mural is officially complete, created in collaboration with our Kids Club and local artist Abbey Murdoch. the process began with a number of workshops with kids talking about thier favourite things about their community, and drawing pictures that reflect the best thigns about thier community. These ideas and images were then translated into a final mural design,finally Kids worked directly alongside Abbey to paint the final Mural
The artwork features welcoming messages in several languages spoken across the local area, including Kaurna language to honor the Traditional Custodians of the Adelaide Plains. The design intentionally ensures local children can see their own culture, language, and community represented on our walls.
This initiative was made possible through a grant from the Playford Alive Initiatives Fund (PAIF). Special thanks to lead artist Abbey Murdoch (@abbeymurd0ch) for guiding the design workshops, Lana Adams for photographing the project, and all the Kids Club participants and families for their support. The finished artwork is now on display outside our main building in the wall facing Swallowcliffe Preschool.
