On Sunday 13 April, we invite you to join renowned multidisciplinary artist Hiromi Tango and Kim Tao, Manager of Curatorial at Museums of History NSW, for an in-depth discussion exploring Hope, Tango's dramatic new art installation at the Hyde Park Barracks. The conversation will examine Tango's practice, which explores the intersection between art and science, with a particular focus on health and mental wellbeing.
Hope is a dynamic digital projection artwork that uses the façade of the UNESCO World Heritage–listed site as its canvas, absorbing the stories within and connecting them with visitors today. The work responds to the history of the Barracks as a place that provided refuge to people who, for various reasons, found themselves in vulnerable situations.
Accompanying the digital projection are five large-scale ‘hope flowers’ that welcome visitors through the gates, and Hope garden, a textile-based installation that will grow throughout the artwork display period.
