Hand-painted caravans
Inspired by his Wiradjuri tradition, the circus, visual and pop culture, Australia's eclectic Brook Andrew assembles a cavalcade of hand-painted caravans in the huge industrial foyer of Carriageworks. For two decades Andrew has been creating multi-media monuments, playfully seducing audiences into new ways of seeing issues of race, consumerism and history. Enter each customised caravan of Travelling Colony to be immersed in the perspectives and lives of personalities central to Aboriginal Redfern, its struggles and community. Through this zig-zag of caravans; archival footage, reflections and projections transport us from forgotten histories to a new perception of Redfern in the 21st Century.

Dazzling zebra-esque caravans in vibrant primary colours act as an ad-hoc Museum of Redfern, camped in the heart of this former inner-city ghetto (now home to only 2.5 percent indigenous Australians among its 12,000 inhabitants)
