Spirits of the Land
Hamer Hall’s iconic facade hosts First Peoples’ spirit stories in a new large-scale projection by artist Aunty Zeta Thomson, a respected Elder and descendant of the Yorta Yorta/Wurundjeri/Wamba Wamba/Wiradjuri people. Spirits Of The Land is a work that shares the beliefs and stories from both Aunty Zeta’s lands and broader Aboriginal culture. The storyline includes Mookies, the Ancestor spirits of Country, Hairy Bekka, a creature that teaches children to keep safe, and Min Min lights, malevolent illuminations to avoid. Free to visit, every day from sundown to midnight.

Welcome to NAIDOC.

We acknowledge all First Peoples of the beautiful lands on which we live and celebrate their enduring knowledge and connections to Country. We honour the wisdom of and pay respect to Elders past and present.
