Public Art / Community Engagement

Teal Collaborative collaborated on community driven project relating to place with 'A Living Entity' - a public mural tackling 'Detritis', our obsession with single use plastic. We work with conscious creatives and community on socially engaged projects that initiate positive change and confront environmental, social, and existential issues in order to provoke change and provide hope. 

'A Living Entity' project was a mural launched by a waste free picnic that sought community input on the theme ‘Detritis’, the Surf Coast Shire’s Seed Funding Grant program. The mural took inspiration from community engagement sessions and was designed by artists Clare Walton and Wadawurrung traditional owner Billy-Jay O’Toole with creative direction from Maxine. The launch picnic included a Welcome to Country, a  Clean Up and a Sustainability Discussion with Grassroots Sustainability.

This video interview about the creation of 'A Living Entity' was produced by the Surf Coast Shire.
