Travelodge Resort Darwin has revealed a two-storey mural by artist Lisa King as part of this year’s Darwin Street Art Festival.
“When the Darwin Street Art Festival team approached us to partner again this year, we knew we had two perfect walls to not only showcase the artwork but to give the festival fantastic exposure,” said Travelodge Resort General Manager, Lucy Ockleston.
“With Lisa King’s artwork complete, we are very much looking forward to unveiling our second enormous six-storey mural sometime in the future.”
King’s portrait of Danggalaba Kulumbirigin (Larrakia) woman Mililma May is located at the Cavenagh and Lindsay Street intersection in Darwin’s CBD. It follows the addition of a five-storey mural by New Zealand-born artist Pennyrose Wiggins at Indigenous-owned Adina-Vibe Darwin Waterfront in 2020.
“Our Adina-Vibe Darwin Waterfront mural features no less than 11 migratory birds and paid tribute to the Territory’s Wet Season, so it’s fitting that this year the Travelodge’s mural honours proud Danggalaba Kulumbirigin woman, Mililma May,” said TFE Hotels Director of Operations ANZ, Tish Nyar.
Both murals are part of Darwin’s CBD self-guided Street Art Tourist Trail accessible via the DSAF app.
