New Zealand wall and pop artist Misery has joined forces with Oxfam New Zealand to raise funds for Oxfam’s project Flow, providing clean drinking water and sanitisation in remote areas of Papua New Guinea.
Misery’s original seven-panel mural was showcased at 1 Queen Street earlier in 2019, and now a limited edition series of prints have been released and are available for purchase at oxfam.org.nz/shop
Purchase a limited-edition print and you will also give the gift of clean water. All profits from each stunning print will help deliver safe drinking water and sanitation facilities to 12 schools and eight healthcare centres supporting 30,000 people in the Eastern Highlands province of Papua New Guinea.

“Painting this piece felt extra special as I was able to imagine what it may have been like for her as a little girl. I am forever inspired by the magic of nature and honoured to have created this work for such an important project,” says Misery.
“It’s been an honour to collaborate with Oxfam on this special project knowing many families in the Pacific aren’t as lucky as we are, and that they don’t have access to something as vital as water is a huge motivator. I’m glad to contribute to something that could have a huge impact on the lives of people living in poverty. I have so much admiration for the important work Oxfam is doing.”
Globally, Oxfam works to find lasting solutions to poverty, reaching more than 17 million people annually from the world’s most vulnerable communities. Through this new clean water project in Papua New Guinea, Oxfam New Zealand will be working together with project partners to install high-quality, sustainable water supply and sanitation systems in 12 schools and eight health centres, as well as delivering training on improved sanitation and hygiene to schools, health centres and surrounding communities.
Misery’s original panels will also be auctioned at the Modern and Contemporary Art auction at the International Art Centre and at an Oxfam event.
