So, we matched the locations with the artists. All the artists got to pick one of six topics and they are all ocean conservation focussed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jude said the topics are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Environmental justice and racial injustices <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overfishing and mining <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Great African Sea Forest <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>South African sharks and reefs <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Endangered species <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plastic pollution and illegal dumping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>She said the aim is to emphasize that art can be used to spread a message of ocean conservation. \u201cFor the mural in Newlands, one of the buildings is owned by the Deaf Society, so we have been working with the society to include sign language in the mural design for that specific building.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lund, a surfer and artist passionate about protecting the Cape West Coast from mining, said he is excited to be a part of the project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am thrilled. It is a long-time alignment. I painted the Sea Walls project in Indonesia. I think the organisation is doing incredible work. This is exactly what I would like to be a part of, as a surfer and someone who is passionate about the West Coast.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lund said his painting is a mark of solidarity for efforts to prevent unregulated mining up the Cape West Coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI painted a toddler digging up the beach with a toy truck and digger. It\u2019s about mining companies from other countries coming in and mining the West Coast, north of the Olifants River. It is destroying the beaches and the ecosystems and having an impact on the communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explained that it\u2019s a metaphor for the \u201cchildishness\u201d of these mining operations and how \u201cshort-sighted\u201d they are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe short-sightedness of these mining companies coming in and having this degrading effect on the land and then leaving all that repair and all that money going out of our country.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the foreground of his painting, Lund has included a \u201cNo Access, Mining in Progress\u201d sign, which references the signs used on West Coast mining sites to restrict access to the beach. He added that it took him about eight days to complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jude said they are looking for four volunteers and restaurants to partner with them so that they can feed the artists and the team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>visit <a href=\"https:\/\/seawalls.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.seawalls.org<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 10-meter mural on
