We are so proud to share our pilot episode for Swimming in Colour - a short documentary series that aims to uplift and transform public pool spaces in Kwa-Zulu Natal through mural art 📸

We teamed up with the EThekwini Municipality, 10 incredible mural artists, a handful of amazing sponsors, and the Windermere community, to capture the transformation of Sutton Park Pool - and the final result has blown us away 🔥

We hope this placemaking project inspires others to uplift communities, conserve our environment within urban spaces, and encourage positive change through art and storytelling 🐒

We hope you enjoy 🥳
