03.01.2022 Discover the beautiful work of Aboriginal artist and Mandi Barton this NAIDOC week through her large-scale digital art installation Healing. Mandi, a Yorta Yorta woman living in Melbourne’s west, was commissioned by the City of Melton to address health and wellbeing messages related to the COVID-19 crisis and explore the impact on Indigenous connections, narratives and identities. The artwork is currently on display until Sunday, 15 November outside CS Gallery, next to Caro...line Springs Library and Learning Hub. In Mandi's word's: "Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community has stepped up to the challenge. With our ingrained knowledge and strength we are readily prepared to ensure that there is no further trauma to our community members.
