A SEAFORD pedestrian overpass will soon feature an Indigenous art installation.
Indigenous artists Adam Magennis, Eamon Roberts, and Wilem Dugay Grist are undertaking the project. Indigenous art consultancy Kaptify will coordinate the artwork on the walls of the overpass outside Kananook Primary School.
Painting began earlier this month and is expected to be finished this week. The artwork will feature local coastal landscape, plants and animals, the sky, and constellations.
Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny announced that the “graffiti hotspot” would get a makeover last week.
“This is such a wonderful project, linking the Aboriginal artists, who’ve already created the beautiful artwork at Seaford Road, with Kananook Primary School,” she said.
“The artists will help transform the concrete overpass outside Kananook Primary School, continuing the Aboriginal artwork and Aboriginal stories for the hundreds of locals who will walk past this spot every day.”
The pedestrian overpass is over the top of Wells Road, Frankston Freeway and the Frankston train line.
