Enough Space for all Shapes Mural Launch

Enough Space for all Shapes Mural Launch
The Enough Space for all Shapes Mural, has been designed in collaboration with a diverse group of young people from the Broken Hill community and artist, James Price. It has really been wonderful to learn about this public art project for young people in Broken Hill and the value of exchange from visiting artists.
From the event description:
'As the title of the work suggests, the mural is a celebration of how young members of our community feel about the place they call home.
The work was developed following an intensive workshop, where participants created four art making activites that helped form an understanding of benefits, challenges and possibilities of life as a young person living in Broken Hill.
The mural design reflects a core desire of the young community to not impose 'a way of being'. Instead the work shows our communities adaptable ability to fit together, and the space afforded by our community to allow each individual to grow into their own form.'
James was the 2018 Broken Hill City Art Gallery Artist in Residence who installed a great exhibition in the Broken Hill Housewives Association building in 2019, called 800 Souls, referring to the estimated number of lives lost to the mines.
Take a look at the mural which is hanging in the carpark at the Broken Hill City Gallery. Artists: Council Cultural Facilities Assistant Joshua DeGruchy, artist James Price, and Alaisha Donohue, Piper Francis, Saskia Kreitner, Max Dawnn, and Faith Devlin.
