Shared Communities
Nile St ArtWall
acrylic on board, 2025
In early 2025 Shared Communities decorated a wall along Nile St. featuring the word “Thank You” in almost 50 languages.
Projects like this bring volunteers together, fostering new friendships and connections, and strengthening our community bonds. Led by Shared Communities’ Cultural Navigator Karolina Serrano, this mural was a true team effort by some incredible volunteers and supporters.
There’s a great article about the Nile St Wall in the Nelson Mail – read it here.
Shared Communities celebrates the many diverse groups in Whakatū, building stronger connections between newcomers and communities.
Check out the Shared Communities website for more information on the dozens of projects coordinated by Cultural Navigator Karolina Serrano. Her role is to be right in the middle of things, not only helping people to make social connections, but also working with our institutions on how they can be more accessible to new communities.
