Seeing Sydney, Knowing Country by Alison Page
Today, Sydney is known for its iconic harbour, scenic foreshores, bushland reserves, and ever-growing urban and suburban areas. But how were its landscapes experienced and understood in the past?
Developed in collaboration with Dharawal and Yuin artist and designer Alison Page, with input from the Sydney Coastal Aboriginal Women’s Group, Seeing Sydney, Knowing Country explores the development of the NSW colony through a selection of significant historical maps, plans, sketches, artworks and objects.
Alison joined 2SER Breakfast to discuss this fantastic exhibition, on now at the Museum of Sydney.
