Aboriginal Survival Memorial

An Aboriginal Survival Memorial in Yeo Park, Ashfield celebrates the survival and resilience of the Gadigal and Wangal people.

Breathe, by artists Nicole Monks and Maddison Gibbs, is the first of three site-specific Aboriginal works to be launched across the inner West.

Breathe is an artwork created from engraved and carefully placed sandstone boulders in which the rocks act as portals in time, portals to ancient stories.

This is a place for non-Indigenous people to listen and understand the past and move towards a deeper understanding of the multi-generational impacts of colonial invasion.

We encourage everyone to come and view this stunning new work in the spirit of reconciliation.
