Good Grief Weston: Jogja Disability Arts Mural
Disabled teenager Ayla Halewood has appeared on nearly all of the ten collaborative artworks led by British artist Andy Bolton (of Community Murals CIC) and Jogja Disability Arts (who are based in Indonesia). Ayla died from cancer halfway through the project, shortly before her eighteenth birthday. Andy explains that the latest murals – currently on display on hoardings opposite Walliscote School, Walliscote Road, in Weston-super-Mare, complementing the recent Weston Wallz event in the town – became an act of memorialisation, a celebration of Ayla’s strength and all the ways that she is ‘still here’.
We invite you to visit these muals at anytime throughout the Good Grief Weston festival.
