How did we get here?

Author: Jess, KCC.

On July 6, the City set out to find collaborators for its inaugural First Nations Public Art Project. Fast forward to today, and we are joined by more than 28 First Nations artists, committed to creating a shared space in the heart of our CBD; Kal City Centre.

Since September, artists have produced unique concept designs; these included culturally significant stories passed down from generations, inspiring tales with influences of flora and fauna and overall shaping our CBD to reflect the diverse and culturally rich City it is today.

The project includes murals and sculptural works – made right in KB! From paint, carved wood to sculpted metal and integrated soundscapes and lighting – this project is every City’s dream.

Join us on our journey as we uncover the hidden talents of the most modest, international and nationally acclaimed artists living and working right here in our backyard.

Stay tuned for next week’s piece.
