Green Bans Art Walk, Big Fag Press and The Cross Art Projects (et al), 2011.
Green Bans Art Walk was an extensive collaborative research project revisiting the excitement and struggle of the ’70s in Woolloomooloo, Darlinghurst and Kings Cross.
A guided walk was designed as a public event, and a self-guided walk was available for locals, tourists and scholars who wanted to know more about the Green Bans and how they shaped the urban development of Sydney’s suburbs.
Green Bans Art Walk was a collaboration between the artist group Big Fag Press, The Cross Art Projects, Fiona MacDonald and a number of Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross residents. Here is a full list of project collaborators.
GBAW was commissioned by Performance Space for its WALK program in 2011, and was included in the programme of Sydney Design 2011, presented by the Powerhouse Museum.
The project was supported by Firstdraft Depot, the Awesome Foundation and City of Sydney.
