Bondi Promenade Art

Bindi Bindi Art, Make Kindness the New Normal, When the Gymea Lilies Bloom, Peter Drew Pasting, From the Archive

 

Chloe Eastwood and Tay-la Shearley in the early stage of the work

Chloe and Tay-la, a proud Ngemba and Wiradjuri couple living and working on Darug Country, spent nearly 3 days creating this artwork for the Bondi community.

Olive took a real shine to them. (We did too!).

“The artwork represents people coming together, celebrating the diversity of those who live in, work in and visit Bondi every day. Each of us carries our own story and follows our own journey, represented through the different pathways woven throughout the artwork. While our journeys may be unique, they cross, connect and bring us together, reflecting the strong sense of community, belonging and connection that makes Bondi so special.”

Make Kindness the New Normal

 

 

Scott Rathman is an Arrente man living in South Australia. He was recently in Sydney and created this mural for us while he was here.

Extract from his Instagram:

“Kindness is not just something we do when the moment calls for it. It is a responsibility carried by every one of us. Every word we speak, every action we take, the way we choose to treat another person leaves something behind. Like footprints in the sand our actions become part of the path that others follow and young people are watching where and how we walk.”
