Two significant new public artworks have been unveiled at ECU City. The works celebrate the cultural, spiritual and ecological narratives of the Noongar people of the southwest of Western Australia, with a focus on Boorloo, Perth. Wadandi/Menang/Kaniyang/Goreng/Bibbulmun artist Lea Taylor has delivered an integrated artwork etched into the pavement outside the ECU City Campus. The artwork evokes the underground waterways that continue to flow beneath Whadjuk Country. The second is a duo of large-scale sculptures by Kamilaroi artist Reko Rennie installed into Karak Walk, the laneway running between Yagan Square and Queen Street. The sculptures draw on the tail feathers of the Karak (Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo) and the Ngoolark (Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo), while also evoking Lake Gooloogoolup and its surrounding wetlands. Jointly funded by the Australian Government, Western Australian Government and ECU, ECU City is bringing education, creativity and connection to the Perth CBD.
