Public art is an essential part of a community in conversation with itself and its broader environment.

🎨Nature is Louder is a street art intervention activating Makhanda's public space with a collaborative, site-specific, and large-scale public mural by a team of Makhanda-based artists led by arts practitioner Mook Lion.

🌱A continuation of the Nature is Louder Public Art Project started in Makhanda in 2021, the mural will explore the nexus between the rebelliousness of nature and the imposition of the built environment.

🎟️Book to join the artists on one of three walkabouts taking place on 22 and 29 June: https://bit.ly/3UWFYIg

Where is the Bee—
Where is the Blush—
Where is the Hay?

Ah, said July—
Where is the Seed—
Where is the Bud—

Where is the May—
Answer Thee—Me—

Nay—said the May—
Show me the Snow—
Show me the Bells—
Show me the Jay!

Quibbled the Jay—
Where be the Maize—

Where be the Haze—
Where be the Bur?
Here—said the Year—
