Brisbane Street Art Festival 2021 by Tervo in Brisbane

This mural was painted for Brisbane Street Art Festival, 2021. Having grown up in a very multicultural neighbourhood, where all of us were the children of at least one immigrant, I became fascinated with Australian identity. What did it mean to me to be Australian? What is our national food? What is our identity? This piece is a tribute to the humble cooked chook on a bread-roll, with butter and pasta salad. It doesn't matter your wealth, your job or your location, as Australians we are all united by having eaten a cooked chook on a bread roll. This shared national experience seemed far too important to not have a mural dedicated to it.
