Orig­i­nal­ly a response to the stu­dent cli­mate strike and a shout out to Alice Spring’s com­mu­ni­ty solar group ​“Repow­er Alice Springs”; the wall has since become an open-end­ed and evolv­ing piece, invit­ing many young peo­ple to leave their mark, as well as local artists and the wider com­mu­ni­ty, who keep the lay­ers of colours com­ing. The mur­al was par­tial­ly fund­ed by Art­sNT in 2019, with sup­port from Watch This Space ARI, Head­space, Angli­care and Con­gress youth engage­ment teams. As it cur­rent­ly stands, the above lines are rep­re­sen­ta­tive of Abo­rig­i­nal deaths in cus­tody across Aus­tralia, with the more joy­ous jux­ta­po­si­tion; an ode to all the dogs we know and love in this town (with more to come). This wall has relied on cre­ative con­tri­bu­tions from friends and com­mu­ni­ty sup­port in time, exper­tise and dona­tions from local busi­ness­es. Shout out to Home Tim­ber and Hard­ware, Roustabout con­struc­tions, Tan­gle­wood Designs, The Meet­ing Place Foun­da­tion and Prop­er Creative.
