11. Janet Lilo
Janet Lilo is an artist who makes art by weaving together illustration, installation, amateur photography and music and documentary style video.
Her art practice invites people to be part of her art making. This often means the art will have people she has either met, known for years or are members of her community.
Janet’s art practice not only reflects elements that make up her tūrangawaewae like her friends, family and community but also gives an opportunity for others to see themselves and to make connections with their own tūrangawaewae.
