Dawn Raids mural by Kophie Loaf (MEEP). Mural on Casa Publica, Armagh Street

"A Christchurch-based Samoan artist is documenting history through art, capturing the "resilience and strength" of Pacific people who lived through the Dawn Raids. Samoan-Dutch artist Kophie Su'a-Hulsbosch spent months consulting with Christchurch's Pasifika community, to bring to life a new mural that honours their journeys while also fostering a deep social understanding. Su'a-Hulsbosch said the mural, located on the corner of Armagh and Manchester Streets, stands as a powerful testament to this community's resilience ... Su'a-Hulsbosch said it was an emotional yet rewarding experience, made possible through Creative New Zealand's Niu Dawn Raids Funding Initiative Grant, with support from the Manatū Taonga Ministry of Culture and Heritage." https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/533104/new-mural-in-otautahi-pays-tribute-to-pacific-resilience-during-dawn-raids
