Moonee Valley Festival 30th Birthday

“I was commissioned by Ros to create a large-scale puppet/lantern parade referencing the local locations and history. I worked with several community groups including Young Somali Women, Scouts and school children to create giant bird lanterns, which were then carried in a spectacular night event with the community taking part.”

“Ros’ vision was big enough to put this together, and I felt I had all the technical and logistical support I needed, with the freedom to run highly creative workshops with the community.” Amanda King
