Contribute to our junk sculpture wall at Arts in Action
This Saturday is Arts in Action - our FREE family Arts festival. During Arts in Action street Artist and educator Harry McNiven will be creating a 'Junk sculpture wall' on our building. If you have an item of 'junk' please bring it along so it can be included and immortalised as a piece of Art instead of a piece of junk.
What we want: Plastic toys, figures, cars & dolls, old modems & phones, tools, small electric items such as speakers, kitchen gadgets, cutlery, other metal and plastic items.
What we do not want: Large electronics, furniture, objects that will decompose E.G, paper or card, food, clothing, sharp or dangerous items such as broken glass or ceramics.
Note# This is not a chance to get rid of large unwanted waste
In the pictures you'll see the space on the left and an example of what a section of the sculpture might look like.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
