Reconciliation Week Art Walk, Five Dock

This Reconciliation Week (27 May–2 June 2023) we are celebrating our local First Nations community with an art walk in Five Dock, culminating in the Reconciliation Action Plan artwork in Five Dock Library.

Five Dock businesses near the library are also showcasing canvases created at our local First Nations resident Meet Up in November 2022. 

So take a stroll down Great North Road to see all the beautiful art on display, then pop into Five Dock Library to see the work created by Gwiyaala Aboriginal Art. The piece tells the story of the Wangal people and the significance of their waterways and the saltwater mullet festivals held by traditional owners that brought local clans together in the area pre-colonisation. The canvas also features the eel, as Wangal Country is a place of eel dreaming.

This art can be seen throughout Council’s Reconciliation Action Plan, which you can read when visiting the library. You can also read the RAP and sign up for updates here.
