An exhibition celebrating women’s stories and achievements, commemorating the women of Port Phillip, diving deeper into their stories through images, artworks and objects.
The City of Port Phillip has a rich ‘herstory’ of inspiring women who have made significant contributions to local politics, literature, the arts, sport, health, education and the wider community.
Earlier this year, the HerStory map was created which displays places in Port Phillip where women are commemorated in street names, parks and gardens, buildings, monuments, and public artworks.
The HerStory exhibition celebrates women’s stories and achievements, but the map is just the beginning. There are many hidden stories to tell, and many more women who deserve to be commemorated.
We encourage submissions from the community proposing the names of women and Indigenous people to help shape our role in creating and changing the names of roads, reserves, open spaces, laneways and other features in our City.
