FAMILY DAY - SUNDAY 13 MARCH The free Festival Garden Party celebrates the next generation of Kiwi talent with free music and fun activites for the families, in the heart of our BIG little city. 
| I'M JUST SAYING
A work by John Reynolds… and you!
In the age of mass communication, and with a young generation increasingly technologically involved, everything is news. Combining this willingness to share information with forms of physical action such as the protest march, I’m Just Saying is like a Facebook status update page taken out of the virtual realm and into the streets. Inviting kids of all ages to share their ideas on placards and banners, I’m Just Saying will be a wonderful absurdist action, a debate with no moot, a protest with too many messages.
