'As a child, Mirka Mora narrowly escaped being sent to a death camp just for being Jewish. The faces of the people she left behind would haunt her forever.
'Mirka migrated to Australia seeking freedom. She was a survivor, and despite the terrible things she had seen, she was determined to celebrate life. She made sure everyone around her was celebrating too.
'She opened restaurants and cafes, attracting famous poets and artists from around the world. Her enchanting personality was magnetic, and she became one of the city’s most prolific and beloved cultural icons.
'Mirka created art on every surface imaginable. She made mosaics and soft dolls, painted massive murals, and embroidered beautiful things. Her art was just like her – full of joy, hope, and magic.' (Production summary)
