PORTRAIT OF BOORLOO
Portrait of Boorloo is an inaugural project aimed at showcasing the vibrant tapestry of Boorloo’s characters, particularly those individuals who have and continue to spearhead positive cultural transformation within the city.
This project, photographed by Western Australian artist Claudia Caporn, serves as a visual tribute to the dedicated individuals who tirelessly contribute to the city’s evolution.
In this project, a selection of Boorloo’s key leaders are immortalised, with each portrait capturing their essence and commitment to driving forward positive change within their respective spheres of influence. From innovative entrepreneurs, arts workers, and artists to passionate community and social activists, these individuals represent the vibrancy of Boorloo’s cultural landscape.
Portrait of Boorloo not only celebrates these individuals but also underscores the importance of fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment where diverse voices are heard and respected. Through art and storytelling, this project illuminates the interconnectedness of leadership, community, and culture, inspiring others to join in the collective effort to shape Boorloo’s future for all to enjoy.
