Murmurations is this year’s Hyde Park Barracks annual art commission by First Nations artist Tony Albert and Sāmoan–Australian artist Angela Tiatia with Lille Madden, Alina Olivares-Panucci and Corin Ileto.

Presented in a large-scale digital format, this art installation brings together First Nations perspectives from Australia and the Pacific to explore the history of the UNESCO World–Heritage listed Hyde Park Barracks as a site of migration.

Central to Murmurations is a specially curated program of talks, workshops and performances that deepen understanding of the artwork and site including a community festival on 28 May. For the full program of events visit the Museums of History NSW website.
