PROJECT CO-ORDINATOR - Lylie Fisher

These images represent the 3 major stages of the "Our Cultural Diversity is our Strength Mural". Sonja MacLean Desilva was the artist on the mural. Sonja's aim was to involve the broadest range of community participation in the development of the design. This process saw 3 months full time being devoted to consulting with Aboriginal and non-English Speaking background community leaders, unions and their members and community arts groups.

1. Consultation with the aboriginal community

2. Workers in the workplace

3. The Mural from design stage, individual panels being painted at the Adelaide Central School of Art Studios to and the mural being erected on the Western wall of Trades Hall Adelaide.
