A PIECE of public art aimed at conveying a message to people from culturally devise backgrounds about ways to increase recycling and reduce waste has been unveiled in Chancery Lane.<\/p>\n
The work was created by Melbourne-based artist Yan Yan Candy Ng and is part of the Victorian Government\u2019s statewide Small Acts, Big Impact program.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the most culturally diverse state in Australian, it is key that we connect with all Victorians in a meaningful and relevant way,\u201d said Katie Pahlow community action director with Sustainability Victoria.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited to bring the Small Acts, Big Impact campaign to life in new ways with multicultural communities to support better understanding and waste reduction in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Chancery Lane mural shows ideas on ways people could change habits, like battery and container recycling and reuse.<\/p>\n
It also contains a QR code that links to Suitability Victoria\u2019s website with further tips and access to the information in other languages.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know from our research with the CALD [culturally and linguistically diverse] communities that there\u2019s an awareness gap regarding waste and recycling behaviours,\u201d said Kwabena Ansha, head of communities and strategy at The LOTE agency.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis campaign is about ensuring everyone knows the simple changes we can all make.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to use different channels to reach multicultural communities with this important message, and the mural is a beautiful way to transcend language barriers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
