Cultural Capital is curating five public artwork by Aboriginal artist Alison Page at the M6 Bicentennial Park re-development.

Our team closely collaborated with Landscape Architects Hassell, Michael Hromek (First Nations cultural consultant) and AMBS Ecology and Heritage Consultants.

The first step in this process was to undertake a deep and considered community consultation phase. Findings from this process informed the art strategy, and we are now managing the delivery of the artworks.

The artist Alison Page says ‘The artworks represent five sisters who have come to the park to bring healing to the land, sea and sky. The artists propose that this work is a new story, co-written with Aunty Barbara Simms Keely and Aunty Yvonne Simms to heal the Randwick Bicentennial Park. The story, will engage the users of the parklands and live on until the waters of the park are cleaned. Encoded in this story is the knowledges of Traditional medicinal plants, which will inform the names of the sisters. The sculptural works are made of cast bronze – glowing gold patina, like jewels – lit at night. They are between 7m and 9m tall varying heights’
