Tony, a Kuku Yalanji man, has gained international recognition for his work that challenges and reinterprets historical narratives surrounding Aboriginal people.
His diverse artistic practice spans text, video, drawing, painting, and three-dimensional objects, creating a universal language that addresses racial and cultural misrepresentation.
Darrell, a Bard man from Lombadina on the Dampier Peninsula, explores riji (pearl shell) designs in a contemporary context. The event focused on connecting attendees with First Nations art and culture through powerful storytelling.

Mirvac has been the proud principal partner of the Biennale of Sydney for the past three years. This year’s edition, ‘Ten Thousand Suns,’ aligns with Mirvac’s vision to create extraordinary places that are inclusive for all.
