Travelling Colony is a major new work by Brook Andrew, whose interdisciplinary arts practice travels internationally. For two decades this celebrated artist has been creating astonishing interventions into history through installation and interactive monuments, playfully seducing audiences into new ways of seeing compelling issues of race, consumerism and history. Inspired by his Wiradjuri tradition, the circus and pop culture, here he creates a cavalcade of dazzling hand-painted caravans in the huge industrial foyer of Carriageworks. Enter each of the caravans in Travelling Colony and immerse yourself in the stories of Redfern - its personalities, its struggles and its community. Through this whirling zig-zag of caravans, archival footage, reflections and projections, we will be inspired by the histories of Redfern. Brook Andrew appears as part of our free talks program Microscope: Festival Artists in conversation with Caroline Baum. Brook Andrew is represented by Tolarno Galleries, Melbourne. Presented by Sydney Festival and Carriageworks 10am-6pm daily and open late on performance nights About The Festival Every January, Sydney Festival enlivens and transforms Sydney with a bold cultural celebration based on the highest quality art and big ideas.
