140 Perth Community Heroes Launch
Client | 140 Perth
Location | Postal Place, 140 William St, Perth
Looking back at the year that was, there is no doubt our strongest memories will be of empty toilet paper shelves and cancelled holidays. However, 140 Perth recognises that amongst the social distancing and rise of the hand sanitiser, there were members of our community that performed extraordinary deeds helping Perth people at the coalface, during the wreck we call 2020.
And so… 140 Community Heroes was born.
Amid a wonderland of chevron patterns and KOKO BLACK decadence, eight Community Heroes, handpicked by local charities, were revealed at a heartwarming launch event - where the heroes saw themselves on the pop-up gallery wall for the first time.
A brief glance at 140’s heroes:
