A Social Inclusion through Street Art Partnership

Australian artist Smug, aka Smug One, was chosen for the first project. As one of the world's leading photo-realist muralists, the attention the mural gained has significantly raised awareness about local marginalised groups.

This mural overlooks the entrance to Kannik Middle School in Stavanger. The mural depicts Helge, who the artist came to know on his visit to Attende. Helge cannot read and found it challenging to obtain employment in a regular workplace.

Through Attende, he found a position he was uniquely qualified for — shredding documents containing sensitive information.

Australian Fintan Magee's large-scale mural was the second collaboration between Nuart and Attende.

This mural was produced fittingly on the LO Union building in central Stavanger. Fintan chose to depict Yvonne and Ingebrigt from the “Clean City Gang” (Ren By Gjengen).

Every Monday to Friday, the group collects litter from the city streets — over two tons annually and ranging from discarded fast-food wrappers to cigarette butts.

Several group members have been doing this essential work for more than a decade.
