6. Looking for change - Whale Tales Sydney 2022

Looking for change

Artist: InkHunter

This artwork is about needing to move in a positive direction and breaking away from past. This highlights the connection to oil and gas that has hurt our planet and created immense stress on ecosystems and habitats. As humans we have destroyed more half worlds rainforest so we need to swing the tide and bring back nature to be wild free again.

Story of Place

Few places better reflect Sydney’s continually changing face than Darling Harbour. Ancient boundary between Wangal and Cadigal clans; destructively industrialised from the earliest days of midden-burning colonial settlement; workshop, woolstore, depot and engineroom for an emerging metropolis; reborn in the 1980s as a place of leisure, entertainment and cultural activity; and now aspiring to become the World’s Best Waterfront.

First Nations Audio Narrative: With thanks to our Indigenous Cultural Advisors, Aunty Jo Selfe and Uncle Graham Toomey, and special contributors who have generously shared  important stories of place. Listen to the First Nations Audio Narrative here.
