Introduced in our previous post, here’s a pic of the mural visiting artists from Arte Moris, Gil and Ili, created on the their recent visit to Melbourne. If you’re local, take a wander down Literature Lane, just near the State Library, for a gander.
Atauro to Melbourne
Illi and Gil from our East Timorese partners, Arte Moris, are in Melbourne to paint and participate in workshops being run during SIGNAL 37, a summer creative art program for Melbourne youth.
Their last trip was to Atauro, an island 25km north of Dili, where they were rolling out the Myths and Murals project. These lads get around. Thanks to Mariano Goncalves from Arte Moris for these pics.
Myths and murals in the Ermera district
Some more images dispatched from Timor-Leste by Chris Parkinson, author of Peace of Wall, taken during the first leg of the Tetum Boy and the Crocodile distribution and the creation of two murals. (You can read all about this project, Myths and Murals, in this post…)
The book and the kids, workshops and murals!
This week saw the first stage of The Boy and the Crocodile‘s distribution to East Timorese children. We were in the Ermera district for the first stop, and the delighted kids then participated in an artist workshop, which they loved. Next stop – Maliana!
