For Paradox Outside the collective of international and national street artists, namely Askew One, Lucy McLauchlan, Sofles, Charles & Janine Williams, Jacob Yikes and Ernest Zacharevic, will create a remarkable legacy in their natural habitat, the streets. A series of works will grace walls across Tauranga for residents and visitors to enjoy for years to come.

A large group of renowned street artists calls Tauranga home. With the third part of the triangle, Paradox Live & Local, the festival will showcase the work of local artists and encourage interaction from across the community, bringing everyone together with events including public wall paintings, food, music and dance.

All Paradox Live & Local events will involve the wider community, opening this urban contemporary art form to those who may not have engaged yet and to those who are already involved.
