GrowFfiti
Growffiti teaches young people to grow, forage & cook their own food, while exploring art in their local area. Participants learn to identify how nourishing wild plants & graffiti can show up as rebellious messengers in our urban environment, as well as designing their own creative pieces. This project can include the design of a food growing space, or focus purely on touring the landscape & uses of wild plants in their neighbourhood.
“The best thing about today was that we were given a space where we could feel that we’re not judged. From the first time you meet [the facilitators] you don’t even know them and they give such a good vibe, you would think that you are a family, and the fact they can bring that and share that with everyone, and everyone ends up happy and making something they didn’t think they could just shows how far you can go.” - Growffiti Participant
