Unfinished Business

Memorials and monuments across Australia recognise wars that Australians have fought abroad, but there is a lack of acknowledgement of the atrocities that occurred in Australia since European contact, such as the Frontier Wars. The aim of this studio is to develop a new type of twenty-first century civic place in Australia that champions human rights, including the acknowledgement and remembrance of the Frontier Wars in Australia. This civic place may extend beyond the memorialisation and remembrance of events (healing) to introducing more program to a central Melbourne site, such as documentation (evidence and justice) and learning (education) along with other possibilities.
