The LIFECYCLE project was a community cultural development / community art project. This initiative was a celebration of culture of indigenous and culturally and linguistically diverse peoples, honouring the contribution of diverse ethnic community to Griffith’s cultural life. The public artworks created through the LIFECYCLE project charts the various journeys and relationships different cultures have with this region, from the Wiradjuri people to the soldier settlers to the recent arrivals. LIFECYCLE provided an opportunity to develop community cohesiveness through the strengthening of our sense of place, shared culture and community identity. The LIFECYCLE model has striven, and continues to strive, towards meeting and advancing the aspirations of our community members. LIFECYCLE also provided a framework to enable sustained participation and interaction between service providers in the community.

Community art galleries
In February 2000, the two footbridges adjoining Lam Tin Station were converted into a community art gallery for the display of paintings and drawings by students from schools or artists from local groups in the Lam Tin area.
Following this success, community art galleries have been extended to other stations of the network. There are now a total of 32 such galleries in the MTR system. All have become highly popular venues for the local community to showcase their artworks.
Could we do this in Tescos or other supermarkets???? Maybe our stations???
