Geronimo South of the Border street art mural, King Street Erskineville, circa 1992

Description

Unique IDA-00026520SeriesJuilee Pryor Street Art Photograph Collection, 1991-1995DateBetween 1st January 1992 and 31st December 1993Date qualifiercircaFormatPhotograph - DigitalDescriptionView north of Geronimo South of the Border street art mural, painted by Andrew Aiken (assisted by Tony Spanos and Juilee Pryor) on side of building, 594 King Street, Erskineville, facing 596 King Street. The mural is a copy of a famous photograph of the Native American leader Geronimo. The Aboriginal flag on the sleeve of the figure ties the spirit of Geronimo to the land rights activism of local Aboriginal people. The mural also declares the importance of South Newtown as a cultural space separate to that of North Newtown. This image was taken some months after the mural's initial completion and shows how messy the mural has become, as others add their own sentiments to the artwork. Andrew has also regularly added statements to street art he was involved in, as a kind of ongoing conversation with others. These ongoing conversations were not always polite.LanguageNo linguistic content - Not applicable (zxx)Author/creatorPhotographer: Juilee PryorArtist: Andrew AikenGeographic location^[1]
