Haymarket, mural

This mural has recently been painted on the wall of a ten storey hotel along Harbour Street, between Pier Street and Little Pier Street, in the inner city suburb of Haymarket. The artwork is of Jenny Munro, founder of the Redfern Aboriginal Tent Embassy, who has been fighting for Aboriginal housing rights for more than four decades and is being celebrated for her contribution to the community. It was created by street artist Matt Adnate and is part of the ANZ Street Art Project series, where four murals have transformed unused walls around the city.
