Thanks to funding from the Dry July Foundation and generous donations in the 2025 Dry July campaign, the Crown Princess Mary Cancer Centre at Westmead Hospital has been able to purchase a stunning Indigenous artwork by Menga Mununggurr.
The wooden artwork is prominently displayed in the main foyer of the Crown Princess Mary Cancer Centre to promote social cohesion and connections amongst Aboriginal patients and the community it serves. In displaying the artwork, the Cancer Centre's goal is to build a sense of community pride.
The artwork display also provides an opportunity for Aboriginal patients to celebrate their identity, share stories, develop connections and can also be a source of resilience in difficult time to help improve their physical and mental wellbeing.
The artwork promotes intercultural relations to a wide audience and strengthen ties between the aboriginal community and other social groups served by the Crown Princess Mary Cancer Centre.
