Footscray Community Arts and Plenary Health have partnered to present Faces of Footscray, a community arts project featuring eight large-scale portraits of hospital staff, volunteers and community members.
The photographic portrait series is located on the hoarding of the New Footscray Hospital site at Geelong Road and features the work of director and producer Mika Tran and photographer Thuy Vy.
