Mural by Owen Dippie and Tame Iti

Te Tira Hou (New Generation)

A collaboration between Tame Iti and Kawerau-born, internationally recognized muralist, Owen Dippie. Watching over the corner of Whakatāne's The Strand and Richardson Street, it blends the artists' signature styles: Dippie's large-scale portraiture with Iti's drifts of people - ancestors standing in support.
