A rundown on the day

2042 Art on the Street is developiong nicely. There are so many cool little objects being built out of plasticine. People are drawing and adding their photos to our map making their own little urban art tour of the Newtown street art.

Some people are just basking in the sun enjoying the day and some are getting really involved. Next to us are some climate change activists who are selling brownies that melt your face with deliciousness. We're two hours away from the end of our first day and there's a whole new day tomorrow. We need to get this map looking "comprehensive" and bit by bit it's getting there.

PEOPLE ARE MAKING THINGS

Sonya Gee from the Matchbox Project made a family of birds that look suspiciously like ducks!!

Graham the Council Ranger proudly made a banana!!
















Tis crocheted a bird in under an hour. It is yet to grow some wings and take its perch

WELCOME TO 2042: ART ON THE STREET

As hosts of 2042 art on the street, Inner West Cultural Services acknowledges the traditional owners and custodians of the place we all now know as Newtown. We would like to pay our respects to the Cadigal elders both past & present, and we present this event in the spirit of people like the local young woman named Patyegarang who taught some of the language of the Cadigal to William Dawes, a soldier among the first fleet of British boat people. The two of them seem to have imagined a future where relations between the two peoples could be based on mutual respect; this future is still hoped for by us at IWCS and we have come a way down that road, but we are a long way from there yet. We hope this year’s 2042 art on the street will be seen as a contribution to the journey.

Hurry down to 2042 this weekend!
