Bella Singh

Description

Who was Bella Singh, and how did his 100-year-old photo become an ‘Aussie’ poster?

Bella Singh migrated from Punjab to Cairns in the late 1800s with 13 others in search of better opportunities.

Now, more than a century later, this Punjabi settler is set to appear on streets as the newest face in Adelaide artist @peterdrewarts ‘Aussie’ poster series.

He was once restricted by White Australia, now celebrated through art.
