Description

Unique IDA-00026540SeriesJuilee Pryor Street Art Photograph CollectionDateBetween 1st January 1991 and 31st December 1992Date qualifiercircaFormatPhotograph - DigitalDescriptionView west of mural featuring the face of Martin Luther King and his words 'I have a dream', with an image of the Earth from space, 305 King Street, Newtown. It was painted over two nights in August 1991 by Andrew Aiken and Juilee Pryor with the help of others, notably Tony Spanos who provided the cherry picker crane used on the second night. This picture was taken some months after the original painting of the mural, when the artists added the Aboriginal Flag to its base as a response to continued graffiti attacks and postering, along with the words 'Don't poster here, show respect.' A small raised garden bed which was previously at the base of the mural had by this time been removed by Marrickville Council. This mural was artist funded.LanguageNo linguistic content - Not applicable (zxx)Author/creatorArtist: Andrew AikenPhotographer: Juilee PryorGeographic location^[1]
