About City libraries

Joondalup: A Pictorial history

From Duncraig in the South to Burns Beach in the North and everywhere in between: come on a journey of discovery as history and modern-day merge into a visually engaging collage sourced from the City of Joondalup Libraries, Local History collection, created by local visual artist Roly Skender, and projected onto the southern windows of Joondalup Library for Kaleidoscope 2018.

Creation of Sioux Tempestt’s mural at the Whitford Library

The Whitford Library’s foyer and external entrance walls have been transformed by Perth artist Sioux Tempestt.
Inspired by the stories of local residents, the intent of the imagery and colour palette is to highlight the uniqueness and beauty of Joondalup and its diverse community, in particular the coastal areas around Hillarys, and their influence on the lives of residents past and present. Sioux also incorporated photographs from the City’s Local History collection in the design.
