Footscray's Hidden Hellenism

Footscray's Hidden Hellenism

Footscray is an inner-West suburb of Melbourne, renowned for its multiculturalism. In honour of its rich Greek history, we created a 250m2 mural, intimate documentary series and merchandise line that tells this story.

This project required 2 years of community consultation, fundraising and preparation before it was inaugurated on 9th September, 2023. Now, Footscray's Hidden Hellenism will never be forgotten.

Collaborators: Alex Lehours (design), David Lee Pereira, Jason Parker et al (installation), THEMATIKOS (custom candle range).

Major sponsors: Conway Fish Trading, Marathon Foods, Tim and Terry Oyster Supply, Windsor Management Insurance Brokers, The Vegie Bar, Pontiaki Estia, The Rotary Club Footscray Branch
