Historical information

Shane Pickett was commissioned in 1996, by the Council of Subiaco to produce 16 street banners for Aboriginal Reconciliation week in 1997 as a Public Art Project. Some banners were produced in duplicate, to be hung side-by-side along Rokeby Road: Frogs, Kangaroos and Tree Kangaroos (possibly more). From the process of making the banners, captured in images P97.15a-q, it appears that there were nine designs. Three designs have not been sighted, for inclusion in the Museum's art collection: Black Swans, Female figure and blue/mustard Echnidnas. Of the banners that are now accessioned into the Museum's art collection (since 2012), six designs are represented, with Frogs, Kangaroos and Tree Kangaroos having duplicates = nine banners in total.
