My Beautiful Backyard

These 10 little panels are the backside of number signs for St Matthew Lutheran Church parking lot. In the past these “blank slates” were the frequent target for graffiti. Susan Mulholland from the BRCA Beautification committee co-ordinated the project to cover them up. One lovely August evening in 2017, a range of locals of all ages appeared and took up paint brushes to share what they would see in their own beautiful backyards… and here we see the result. This is a urban tactism success story as they haven’t been graffited since!
