As the sun goes down, the pavement along King Street will light up with new artwork created by Ngugi woman Elisa Jane Carmichael, inspired by the poetry of Aboriginal writer Oodgeroo Noonuccal. It explores dusk and the element of fire as well as her own cultural identity and heritage.
The work will be complemented by an exhibition, guided tours, spoken-word poetry sessions, and workshops for kids and adults.
