It’s always hard to keep things bang up to date and I prefer to make art rather than post about it. For the most recent updates on my work it’s best to check out my instagram account:

Sydney Opera House: Creative Learning in Leadership
Have spent the last two school terms working with Liverpool Boys High School as part of Sydney Opera House’s Creative Learning in Leadership Program. Initially I led professional development with 6 teachers and then worked with a group of YR9 boys to create a short film looking at Sustainability. The completed work was screened at the Opera House for friends and family – was a great event very well received.
Below are a few stills from the film you can view the whole film on the Opera House’s Facebook Page

Sydney University MBA
Just worked with MBA students on a module looking at Creativity and Business. My role was to support and guide the students to create a series of installation pieces at Redfern Town Hall. Given that most of the students hadn’t created anything artistic since leaving school it was a good event and a learning curve for me.

Thank you for having proceeded to re-write the name of Israel, but how come you did not add the name of Malta?
Kind regards.

Thanks for your post Giampiero and interest in the work. The text panel that accompanies the mural explains the countries listed are the countries of origin of the students not of the whole surrounding area of Casula which would be far more! After the original mural was printed it was brought to my attention that I missed out some countries of student origin so when I carried out the maintenance the other week it was an opportunity to add them in. I’m sorry but none of the students came from Malta!
thanks again for your post
best wishes
Howard

Thanks for the explanation why Malta is not in the list of countries appear in the murals. Unfortunately Yesterday someone tried to erase even once again Israel despite you had put it very high, unfortunately fanaticism has no limits. I believe that we should not make winning the fanatics so, please, the name of Israel should restore again.
Kind regards,
Giampiero Pallotta
