Bondi Pavilion Public Artwork

The core purpose of this artwork is to recognise the history, culture and presence of the traditional custodians of Australia. The work should reflect themes specific to the Gadigal and Bidjigal people. The artwork is to serve as a recognition of the world’s oldest surviving continuous culture. The artwork must consider the presence of Aboriginal history, culture, custom and tradition specific to the area.

The artwork should be incorporated into the building redesign process with consideration to ensure a prominent and self-determined Aboriginal cultural presence within the building.

The Gujaga Foundation were engaged by Waverley Council to project manage the design outcome for the Bondi Pavilion public art project which includes:

• Project management and engagement of five local community artists to develop a concept design, for review and selection

• Community consultation with Elders and Sydney Coastal Community

• Project management for fabrication and installation with the selected artists and TILT studio

• External stakeholder workshops and presentation to provide understanding of the Aboriginal people of Coastal Sydney the chosen narrative
