A cast bronze sculpture over five metres high of a First Nations woman rising out of water will be situated outside the Waldorf Astoria Sydney hotel at Circular Quay – a central business district and popular tourist site with heavy foot traffic.
Commissioned by Lendlease and created by Dharawal and Yuin artist Alison Page, Badjgama Ngunda Whuliwulawala (Black Women Rising) depicts a part woman, part whale figure that represents the deep connection First Nations people have to Country.
