FLY ME UP TO WHERE YOU ARE

Tiffany Singh Aotearoa / New Zealand

What are the hopes and dreams of our children? What is their vision for our future? A work about aspiration, unity and a collective voice, Fly Me Up To Where You Are begins with Auckland's children and culminates in the heart of our city in a riot of colour.

Fly Me Up 2min Trailer from Tiffany Singh on Vimeo.

Using participation, collaboration and materials drawn from common rituals, Tiffany Singh explores the power of art to build a community. Inspired by the ancient Tibetan tradition of prayer flags, Fly Me Up To Where You Are gathers the hopes and dreams of thousands of Auckland's school children in the form of hand-painted dream flags created in workshops with the artist. Their flags are united in a stunning public installation, transforming Aotea Square with a mass of joyous colour.

See the story of the work's creation told through stunning photography and film by Robert George, and make a flag to add to the work, in the accompanying exhibition Fly Me Up to Where You Are: Te Waharoa at Ponsonby Road's Artstation.

FREE Event.
