Projecting the beauty of Kororoit Creek

A new series of projections in Sunshine will transport viewers to the lush greenscape of the local Kororoit Creek.

A collection of 42 snapshots, the Down the Creek exhibition is a celebration of the community’s efforts to restore Kororoit Creek through art and environmental initiatives.

Featuring works from local artists and children, it showcases a vibrant glimpse of the creek’s importance.

Curated by local creative Elzette Bester, and presented by volunteer group Friends of Kororoit Creek, the showcase highlights the creek’s beauty while inspiring environmental awareness.

“A lot of people grew up with the creek, there’s a lot of memories associated with it,” Ms Bester said.

“People feel a lot of pride when it comes to the creek, and they recognise its importance to the area.”

Ms Bester said locals should visit the exhibition and see the creek in a new light.

“They’ll be reminded of the beauty that lies in the creek, and the work that’s being done by the community to retain that,” she said.

“Sometimes people will just walk or cycle past the creek but they don’t know what’s actually in it so this is an educational exhibition as much as it is a visual celebration.”

Down the Creek is showing at the Brimbank and Sunshine Projection Galleries, at 294 and 301 Hampshire Road, Sunshine — the projection at 301 Hampshire Road is at the rear of the building.
