04.01.2022 Have you seen the festive windows at Bargoonga Nganjin North Fitzroy Library? Artist Minna Leunig has taken the shape of a traditional tree bauble and blown it up to a momentous scale, then decorated it with animals and bits of the Australian bush. With a nod to Melbourne’s beloved Myer Christmas Windows, Bargoonga Nganjin's circular windows around the building are dressed up in Leunig's stylised and playful animals, each one full of character, personality and spirit. Thanks ...to Yarra City Arts. #MinnaLeunig #Leunig #YarraLibraries #YarraLife #BargoongaNganjin #NorthFitzroy #LibrariesChangeLives
