It’s all hands on deck at the Sydney Royal Botanical Gardens. In a partnership with ANTaR (a national advocacy organisation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) and proud Yaegl artist Frances Belle Parker, the general public are invited to participate in the creation of art installation Sea of Hands which features over 10,000 handprints.
Between 5-9 April, visitors are invited to help plant a handprint that makes up the installation. Parker’s design spotlights the cultural practice of land burning and each handprint mirrors the colours of charred and burnt banksia pods.
