United for Truth is a large-scale momentary public art installation which will take place at beaches on the East Coast along with a home-based project you can participate in that uses natural material found on beaches, forests or your neighbourhood to create a sculpture with an environmental message.

Leading the project, Gisborne-based artist Adel Salmanzadeh and his whānau invite the community to make something beautiful and impactful as a collective. Adel’s family will create installations in Te Tairāwhiti using sculpture to focus on the word ‘Truth’ while investigating what it means to us as a community.

You are invited to make a sustainable sculpture at home using this online resource created by artist Adel Salmanzadeh that talks about Truth and what it means to you. Share your creation on Instagram using #united_aklfest to be featured on our website!

The great ocean will eventually wipe out the words of the public installation, showing the true force of nature. Our presence on this planet is temporary and we have the power to do immense damage to our world’s destiny. The grace of the ocean wiping the slate clean is a symbol of the second chance we have to correct the balance.
