Badu Gili: Wonder Women

  • Nightly year-round sails projection returns to celebrate the work of six female First Nations artists 
  • First major creative collaboration between the Sydney Opera House and Art Gallery of New South Wales

We are excited to announce the return of the Badu Gili - the free, nightly First Nations sails lighting from April 23, with a vibrant new projection that celebrates the work and stories of six female First Nations artists.

The six-minute animation of artworks from the Art Gallery of NSW collection will appear hourly on the Opera House’s eastern Bennelong sail each night from sunset, enabled by the NSW Government’s Culture Up Late initiative.

Badu Gili: Wonder Women weaves together the work of artists from across Australia: Wadawurrung elder Marlene Gilson; Yankunytjatjara woman Kaylene Whiskey; Luritja woman Sally Mulda; and Western Arramta women Judith Inkamala and Marlene Rubuntja and the late Kamilaroi woman Elaine Russell.

The animation inspired by their works brings to life stories of shared histories – from the Eureka Stockade and mission days to the devastating bushfires of 2019-20; intimate family encounters and everyday life in First Nations communities as well as an imagined world of superheroes.

 
Please stay tuned for the announcement of the livestream time on Sydney Opera House Facebook closer to the launch. 

Date:23 April 2021 AEDT
Time: To be announced in April
