About Sea Of Hands
ANTaR, national organisation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander reconciliation and rights, is partnering with the Barangaroo Delivery Authority to bring its interactive symbol of reconciliation, the Sea of Hands, to Barangaroo Reserve for National Reconciliation Week 2016.
Visitors can participate in the Sea of Hands installation by planting a hand between 10am and 4pm each day from until Saturday June 4th at Barangaroo Reserve.
The vibrant installation has been designed by Gurindji/Malngin/Mudpurra artist and researcher Brenda L Croft. It is inspired by historical portraits depicting Eora men, including one of Barangaroo’s husbands, Bennelong, adorned in customary ochre body markings. Customary markings on the body reference the integral relationship that Indigenous people have to, and with, Country.
