Redfern, Gadigal Information Service
The Gadigal Information Service and Koori Radio are located in this office building in the inner city suburb of Redfern. The Gadigal Information Service was established in 1993 and became an incorporated Aboriginal association to provide a community based media, arts and information service for the Indigenous community in Sydney. Koori Radio 2LND 93.7FM is Sydney's only Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander full-time community radio station. The indigenous art design on the louvred exterior is based on the 1968 play The Cherry Pickers by indigenous playwright Kevin Gilbert. This was originally the site of the Black Theatre, the first Aboriginal theatre in Sydney.

Odd exterior. I like the design, but the actual print look like sperm all over the building. Still a great photo!
ReplyDeleteI like the building and the unusual decoration: a great design!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting building -- thanks for sharing it with us. Thanks, too, for the information about the information service and radio.
ReplyDeleteFascinating, Jim. I did not know any of that.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean "louvred"? I cannot see where they might open. Is there another architectural meaning for "louvre"?
What a fantastic design when I enlarged it. It looks like muddy feet walking in different directions while dropping cherries along the way.
ReplyDeleteJulie, traditionally louvres were slats that admitted light and air in. They could be adjustable but didn't have to be. This is a modern louvre design with many holes in the pressed metal design admitting light to the top floors of this office building.
ReplyDeleteOne learns not only how beautiful pictures of buildings are taken, but also of their content.
ReplyDeleteAlways a joy to come and see, how life is so far from here.
Please have a nice Thursday.
