This project was facilitated by Flying Colours Community bannermakers Barbara Joseph and Nora West in 1998.

A series of 24 lamp post banners were designed and printed over two days to decorate and publicise "Waitakere Pacifica", a celebration of Pacific Island culture held in West Auckland.

The Pacific Island Advisory Board and Waitakere Community Arts coordinator, Cathy Kencel, brought together groups representing various Pacific cultural traditions to work with the Flying Colours team. Designs and styles are those of Tonga, Cook Islands, Samoa, Tovalu, and Niue.

Each banner is 2m x .80m and is made of cotton duck with textile inks.
