Event
Self guided art tour, Old Spaces
Old Spaces is a project that documents spaces in mostly Sydney, Australia. The aim of the project is to unearth local history and re-animate the forgotten stories attached to these sites.
The project is inspired by the development boom in Sydney with replacement of historical buildings for high-rise apartments.
Some stories include the iconic neon advertising signs on William Street in the 1960’s and the construction of Kings Cross tunnel, the first major tunnel in Sydney.
