Part 4/7:
The exploration of Wellington’s central region entails a street art tour within the neighborhood of Te Aro. Originating around 2005, this mural art scene has flourished, particularly around Cuba Street, reflecting the city's grungy yet artistic vibe. With narrow alleyways and open spaces, the urban environment serves as an ideal canvas for street artists, creating larger-than-life murals that contribute to the city’s lively aesthetic. These artworks are everchanging, with new pieces regularly emerging and others fading as they are tagged or painted over, embodying the ephemeral nature of urban creativity.
