Downtown Auckland residents will notice new public artworks on The Docks apartments on Tangihua St.
The three murals, commissioned by Study Auckland and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, depict the importance of welcoming different cultures and diversity in Te Tōangaroa - an area which spans from the end of Britomart to The Strand – and Tāmaki Makaurau.

Local artists and tertiary art students have collaborated to create a new piece of large-scale art that celebrates the culture and diversity of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
Students Nikita Sharma, Celia Lee and Jenny Zhong were chosen to design and paint one panel of the three-panelled mural after Study Auckland invited art students to join the project.
The aim of the Study Auckland panel was to give international students the opportunity to work with respected local artists Ross Liew, Hana Maihi of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei and Te Whetū Collective member Poi Ngawati and explore what it means to make public art in New Zealand.
