Speaking walls

Pune Biennale Foundation is an organisation established to bring Art, Architecture and Design for enhancing visual aesthetics in Pune.

The foundation works towards positioning Pune on the global Art Scenario by promoting local talent for Art in public spaces.

The flagship activity of the foundation will be the Pune Biennale which represents an inclusive movement that makes Art more public and accessible and creates a new space for appreciation and education about artistic traditions.

A collaboration between Pune Municipal Corporation, Pune Biennale Foundation, Professional artists, art students and school children was the project:  “SPEAKING WALLS” which aims to build a community of aesthetic citizens who are aware of the rich heritage of the city.

St. Joseph High School, Pashan, was invited to be a part of this great activity.

Thirty three of our students were a part of this project. They covered the Armament Colony Wall with the total length of 160 ft.  and height   5 ft. , a total area of 800 sq. ft. and carried a message which is an integral part of our objective of living a life committed to Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation.

The message was “TO LIVE IN HARMONY  WITH NATURE”.
The school received many accolades from the Pune Municipal Corporation and the Parent Body for the exemplary work put up by the students. It was indeed a great learning experience for our students.
