Another 100 years! Stjepan's cup is installed and nabbed

Apparently The city of Footscray also had a centenary and here are the various brass plaques to tell the story. Here I may have found the origin of the name for Madden Square.


Thanks Stjepan for this message -
Never give up on learning, you can go from failing year 12 to studying for a PhD.



Oh well this is interesting
and doesn't Melbourne just get smaller and smaller!
So i am actually installing and Rachel Maine is photographing me for the University archives and then along comes Jason whom I know.

He loved the cup and stayed to watch us photograph Stjepan's cup.
Wow, he really loved the message, 'Hey that's my story!'

We finished installing and walked away and for the first time I looked back and took a shot catching Jason sliding it into his pocket!

some graff, but we are not sure what it says

About: Message in a Cup


Messages and stories of learning in Footscray are collected and then written onto the insides of one hundred handmade blue cups. The cups are placed in Footscray during BluScray events to be found by people and taken home. The project gives voice to peoples experiences and understandings of learning and shares these ideas with others in the city of Footscray.



Message in a Cup is part of BluScray,  a program of blue-themed arts and cultural events held throughout 2016 to celebrate Victoria University’s Centenary in collaboration with Maribyrnong City Council for the Footscray University Town initiative. Message in a cup was made by the artist Debbie Harman Qadri.
