Leigh Street Artwork

Leith Elder, Caroline Farmer, Julie Henderson and Zofia Sleziak

Artists Leith Elder, Caroline Farmer, Julie Henderson and Zofia Sleziak, explore the history of Leigh Street through excerpts from historical documentation. Quotations from diaries, advertisements and newspapers have been etched into the granite paving embedded along the street. By reading the excerpts, audiences can piece together the story of Leigh Street, a hub of culture and trade since before colonisation.
