The interview was part of a small project about a then planned sculpture memorialising activist priest Father Ted Kennedy, and Mum Shirl [Shirley Smith], a renowned Aboriginal activist and social worker. (The sculpture subsequently did not eventuate).
Dr de Lorenzo is an art historian and was a parishioner of St Vincent’s church in Redfern with which both Father Kennedy and Mum Shirl had lengthy associations. In her interview Dr de Lorenzo brings a scholar’s eye to issues surrounding public art and the memorialisation of individuals, including literal representation.
