What are the hopes and dreams of our children? What is their vision for our future? A work about aspiration, unity and a collective voice, Fly Me Up To Where You Are begins with Auckland's children and culminates in the heart of our city in a riot of colour.

Using participation, collaboration and materials drawn from common rituals, Tiffany Singh explores the power of art to build a community. Inspired by the ancient Tibetan tradition of prayer flags, Fly Me Up To Where You Are gathers the hopes and dreams of thousands of school children in the form of hand-painted dream flags created in workshops with the artist. Their flags are united in a stunning public installation - a mass of joyous color.
