Dakabin Community Youth Hub
Jenny was selected from an incredibly talented pool of applicants to design the artwork to represent the newly developed Dakabin Community Youth Hub which is going to be an extension of Dakabin State High School. The artwork is called "All things Murumba" which is a call to remind ourselves to think on beautiful, good and lovely thoughts of life.
St Benedict's Mango Hill
2024 was a beautiful year for Reconciliation and St Benedict's Catholic Primary School community in Mango Hill. This wonderful inclusive mural will sit at the entrance of the school and provides a beautiful representation of the beauty of belonging. We hope that everyone who added a thumbprint feels included and happy to be a part of this special legacy artwork.
QPAC's Kgwambi-burra
Kgwambi-Barra was inspired by a pearl Jenny received one day from a crow when she was working on multiple youth projects. The crow dropped the pearl at Jenny’s feet which was quite a surprise. The pearl reminded Jenny of a prayer and her connection to her Quandamooka and Jinibara family heritage. Kgwambi or Quampie or Goompie translates to Pearl shell in the local Minjerribah traditional language. Culturally there was no written language, how you say a word matters more than how it's spelt today.
ECM Playground
ECM Commissioned the Manamana Dream Crew to design a mural to hang in the newly built playground funded by the generosity of local organisations. Emmanuel City Mission offers a crucial service to some of Brisbane's most vulnerable people. The playground offers sanctuary to children visiting the Centre.
Ipswich Adventist Kindy
Ipswich Adventist Community Kindergarten wanted to do something in honour of Reconciliation, so they reached out to Manamana Dreaming to design an artwork to reflect their school community. Jenny's sister Chloe Adams painted the mural and over 50 students added a thumbprint to the artwork "Kut-dja".
Our Lady of Assumption Enoggera
Jenny & Angel spent a day with staff from Our Lady of Assumption Enoggera painting coolamons from Rhan Hoopers collection. The day relaxing, fun and informative. Manamana Dreaming's artefact painting activities have been described as therapeutic by participants.
