TEXTAQUEEN'S MURAL

Words By Camille Short Image by Lewis Robert, Darebin Council

TextaQueen, a renowned and boundary-pushing artist, has recently left a mark on our town with their mural next to the library. Known for their unique artistic style and fearless exploration of identity, TextaQueen's work has gained significant recognition both nationally and internationally.

TextaQueen’s mural features a pomegranate as a central icon, accompanied by plants and flowers that are indigenous to our area.

Pomegranates have cultural significance for people from the Middle East and across Asia, and represent abundance, fertility and blessings. By incorporating these elements together TextaQueen celebrates the natural beauty of our environment and recognises and celebrates the multiple cultures within Reservoir.

Make the most of the colourful seating out the front of the library and sit down and take a look next time you visit the area.
