Redfern Station improvement works

In November 2018 a new entrance on the corner of Gibbons and Lawson Streets was opened at Redfern Station. Balarinji engaged with the local Redfern community to commission a series of Aboriginal artworks and interpretive elements that reflected the area’s rich Aboriginal heritage and stories.

Balarinji workshopped concepts in collaboration with local artists Dolly Brown, James Simon, Suzy Evans and Adam Hill, plus managed fabrication and installation of the works at the Station.

The new 130 metre contemporary mural on a prominent noise wall in North Balgowlah showcases an artwork developed with Yaegl artist Jessica Birk.
