Monument to First Nations people unveiled on Gadigal Country
‘bara’ forms part of the Eora Journey, a public art program for the City of Sydney that recognises and celebrates the living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
On the 28th of May, Judy Watson’s incredible ‘bara’ was opened in Gadigal Country (Sydney). Overlooking Sydney Harbour, ‘bara’ was created in consultation with Gadigal Elders Uncle Allen Madden and Charles ‘Chicka’ Madden to monumentalise important stories derived from local First Nations’ histories.

The awe-inspiring sculpture becomes akin to the nearby Opera House’s pearlescent sails and takes on the form of traditional fishhooks used by Gadigal fisherwomen for thousands of years.
