Eveleigh, Carriageworks, art

CarriageWorks is a multi-venue arts centre in the inner city suburb of Eveleigh. It is housed in the former Eveleigh railway yards which were built between 1880 and 1889. The Carriageworks sign structure has been used to create a unique neon artwork called "Remember Me" by Indigenous artist Reko Rennie. 2020 marks the 250th anniversary of Captain James Cook’s first landfall at Botany Bay and the HMB Endeavour’s charting of the East Coast of Australia. The artist has responded with a present-day memorial in recognition of the frontier wars, the massacres and the survival of the original sovereigns of this country, the Aboriginal people of Australia. He asks us to consider the personal impact of our past and how history is made today.

      Sadly we do. Black Live Matters protests have been happening in Australia over the last few weeks too.

    A timely reminder that no one is perfect. We all have our dark history. Have a good day.
