This year's annual parade by Port Chalmers School featured the school-wide project WE ARE HERE, an identity project mapping the Port Chalmers area where the children live and making masks of the creatures that live there with them. This map & mask project was lead by local visual artist Juliet Novena Sorrel. Ms Novena Sorrel believes creating maps allows children to identify with their communities in a stronger way. "It makes them really feel like they belong somewhere". Their 'map' came alive when they paraded along the main street on their way to Watson Park where the procession culminated with the children installing their map on the ground. They then connected each individual piece of art by unrolling a ball of white ribbon to create their own routes through the cardboard community... See previous Showoffs entry for further visuals.
