MPavilion Opening November 2020

Naomi Milgrom AO

Naomi Milgrom is the founder of the Naomi Milgrom Foundation—a not-for-profit charitable organisation that exists to initiate and support great public design and architecture projects. MPavilion is commissioned by the Foundation, and its patron Naomi Milgrom has always championed projects that explore design’s close interconnection with contemporary culture. In doing so, she has sought to create new public and private partnerships in the civic space.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
