We acknowledge that the Kaurna people welcomed us to the place where the Queen’s Theatre stands on their unceded land. And this is how we have come to know this place. When we continue the stories of the first peoples of these lands, we hope to keep the spirit of this place true to the people of the Kaurna nation. We thank them deeply for their on-going sharing, teaching and caring for culture, place and people. The Queen’s Wall artists pay their respects to all First Nations elders, past and present.
‘The Queen’s Wall’ was created by Mary Moore and Sandpit
Mary Moore and Sandpit designed the Queen’s Wall as an interactive promenade. It is a ‘living wall’, drawing its inspiration from the world of theatre.
Theatre is a collaborative art practice and over thirty free-lance artists and four digital companies have contributed to the making of this interactive ‘living wall’. Five performing arts companies agreed to have their work shown in the App story that celebrates the 460 artists who have performed in the Queen’s since it was reclaimed as a theatre in 1996.
The archival research that supported the creation of the Queen’s Wall was managed through AusStage and originated with the Lost Theatres Project.
Commissioned by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, this artwork was delivered in partnership with Guildhouse.
