Bringing Legendary Birds back with Street Art
Every donation helps to bring another species back through art.
Dunedin, Otago
Did you know that before kiwi became the national symbol of New Zealand, moa were?
I am studying artwork featuring moa, uncovering the symbolic legacy of this magnificent bird. I'll be interviewing artists who incorporate moa imagery in their work to learn about their creative process. My goal is to create a stunning piece of street art featuring larger-than-life depictions of Aotearoa New Zealand's incredible extinct species, including the Southern Giant Moa,and Haast's Eagle.
Use of funds
My canvas is 15 meters tall and 12.5 meters wide! That's a lot of paint, and I'll need some infrastructure to reach every corner.

Kia ora!
Thanks to you and many others pitching in their time, resources, and financial support, the Legendary Bird mural is complete! I'd like to invite you to join in celebrating the wonder of these incredible animals and their place in our shared history. I'll give acknowledgements to the wonderful people who made this project a success and talk about the symbolism behind it all.
This particular mural, in part, pays tribute to the tireless efforts of natural scientists who strive to deepen our understanding and connection to the land we inhabit. It's a great opportunity for our local community members and visitors to reflect on our place in nature and spark meaningful conversations. I'm really excited about this project and can't wait to see the positive impact it will have on our community.
This is also your chance to meet the artist and ask questions!
This is an open event for all. Hope to see you there!
WHEN: Saturday 11th, 1:00 PM-2:00 PM
WHERE: At the mural next to Reburger and Sal's Pizza.
Cheers,
Paulina
