International mural artist Joel Bergner arrived back in the City of God this week for the second phase of the Parish of Christ the King's Bible Art Mural Project.
Last year, Joel joined forces with 25 teenagers from the local community to paint murals of the Garden of Eden and the Last Supper on the church's boundary walls.
This time round Joel, who has just completed a project in Poland, will be working with church members and representatives from four local organizations to produce a mural of the Book of Revelation's vision of the City of God and a timeline of key moments in the 45-year story of the neighbourhood that will form the backdrop to a new community garden.
The project launch takes place during Mass on Sunday, November 6 and will then be followed by a week of workshops on art and design.
Painting will begin later this month and it is hoped to finish the 'City of God Garden of Memory and Hope' in time for an official opening before Christmas.
