Issue
Communities in Tonga have little exposure to contemporary art and the power of art as a means of self-expression.
How we are helping
By supporting a project that will enable young artists to express themselves and strengthen their artistic skills, while creating a highly visible and accessible installation of contemporary art to encourage dialogue and interest in the arts among local communities in Tonga.
About the project
The project will use mural design as a vehicle for young artists to express their ideas while developing their creative skills and artistic vision. Under the supervision of Tongan artist Tevita Latu, participating artists will design and paint murals, including on abandoned or derelict buildings and involving the local community.
Project Partners
We support people's participation in democracy and development by providing grants, platforms, and expertise.
