Celebrating culture

Homes Victoria partnered with Belgium Avenue Neighbourhood House (BANH) and Richmond Youth Hub to celebrate the diverse and vibrant community of the North Richmond housing site through a community-inspired artwork for the hoarding on the Big Housing Build project site at Elizabeth Street, Richmond, where we are building 144 modern, sustainably designed homes.

The BANH teamed up with photographer Jorge de Araujo to take a series of portraits of Richmond residents sharing a favourite cultural meal and recipe. 

BANH also worked with Richmond Youth Hub and Yarra Youth Services Artist in Residence, visual artist Nicky Tsekouras, who led a series of workshops with Richmond young people to create self-portraits and drawings of their favourite foods.   

You can visit the artwork around the perimeter of the Elizabeth Street, Richmond site and explore the recipes.
