This piece represents joy, life, culture and connection to country and community.
It is a new story being told in this space, one of rejuvenation and new life. These totems are the new protectors of this space, the spiritual protectors of gathering and community.
Through this tough time, our spirit is still strong, and our community is there.
The art aims to bring life and colour to the street and features three local Manningham animals – the black swan, platypus and wombat.
Robert says the idea is that “the activation of creativity and art in this space helps to bring the community together”.
This project was funded by Manningham Council and the Department of Jobs, Regions and Precincts COVID Safe Outdoor Activation Fund.
