We will be visiting Georges Head art exhibition together. From the early days of the colony, Sydney’s authorities built military sites designed to thwart invasion. Conscious of the irony, First Nations artists Black Douglas, Karla dickens and Jason wing, working with curator Djon Mundine OAM, have take over some of these secret sites for a series of poignant, darkly humorous, site specific art installations created inspire deep reflection and offer new perspective on Sydney Harbour.
*Please note to attend the exhibition tour with the Youth team, the young person will need to bring Art gallery tour – indemnity form
