Sydney Opera House at Night

ARTIST: Emily Crockford

DATE: 2014, installed in 2018

This piece of art was included in the tour for a number of reasons. It is not Aboriginal street art, but then a number of these pieces were not painted by Aboriginal artists either. It was included as it is a beautiful, eye-catching piece of art, but also because it surrounds the site which once housed the Aboriginal Housing Company. The AHC has relocated to Waterloo whilst the controversial redevelopment of The Block takes place.

Emily's artwork, Sydney Opera House at Night, was licensed by the City of Sydney to be displayed on construction hoardings around the city.
