The new City Square above the Town Hall Station features designs which were developed in consultation with Wurundjeri Elders.
The square will have a permanent bronze smoking ceremony dish and gathering area, co-designed with Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Elder Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin by Greenshoot Consulting.
Woi-wurrung language and designs developed by Wurundjeri artist Lewis Wandin-Bursill are etched on terraces and seating throughout the Square.
Barerarerungar by Maree Clarke is a vibrant 45 metre-long installation that will line the Federation Square entrance to Town Hall Station. Made up of 30 glass panels, the work weaves together cultural and ecological narratives of the 5 clans of the eastern Kulin Nations through photographic landscapes and features significant scar trees and intricate line drawings inspired by traditional possum skin cloak designs.
