Earlier this year, Forlano Design was commissioned to take a conceptual design from the team at Missions Connect and detail the works to ensure it was built in a way to suit their budget, time constraints, and structural requirements. The works were for ‘Limen’, an exhibition telling the stories of three Stolen Generation Survivors; Edith DeGiambattista, Tonji Hansen, and Tim Flowers.

I thought I’d post my opening night of the “Shield of Voices” exhibition as it seems as relevant today as it was in 2018. The artwork was the culmination of her Artist in Residence experience with Edith Cowan University and the Parliament of Western Australia, reflecting on women in politics and how the architecture itself is not reflective of an inclusive design that welcomes women.
