Has Sydney always been called Sydney? Waranara Yuwing = seek the truth
The Biennale of Sydney is Australia’s oldest festival of contemporary art. World Heritage Listed, Wa-rea-mah or Cockatoo Island is playing host to this 21st instalment of Australia’s largest visual arts event that showcases both local and international works.
On Sunday 29th April 2018 Melissa Jackson from Indigenous Services Branch was involved in a discussion about place names and identities of Aboriginal Sydney in the colonial era drawing from the rich array of images, manuscripts, realia and maps held in the State Library NSW collections.
