“To be working with such an iconic part of the cultural fabric of Melbourne and the state of Victoria is an amazing opportunity,” Qerim said.
“We’re incredibly thrilled to create meaningful work with such a positive impact behind it. We’d like to thank Museums Victoria for the warm welcome and can’t wait to reveal the first project.”
