As a part of Biennale of Sydney's collaboration with the @sydneyoperahouse and @fondationcartier, First Nations artwork is projected on the Sydney Opera House’s eastern Bennelong sails nightly all year long. Featuring the work of the late Bidjigal elder Esme Timbery and two of her children, Marilyn Russell and Steven Russell and artist Joseca Mokahesi Yanomami of the Yanomami people.

“to call [PAIA] world class does not do it justice” – Double J  PAIA is Ngaiire’s most visceral and transcendent work yet—an eruption of rage, sex, ecstasy, ceremony, ancestry, and cleansing. Rooted in the Tok Pisin word for “fire,” PAIA is both a reckoning and a prophecy, fusing music, dance, and visuals into a blazing, multi-sensory experience.  Collaborating with multi-award-winning director Dino Dimitriadis, Ngaiire draws from her Papua New Guinean heritage to transform her stage at Vivid Sydney at Carriageworks into a ritual of movement, sound, and storytelling. PAIA is an invitation to surrender to the flames—an experience that will haunt, heal, and ignite.  Biennale of Sydney followers can enjoy $10 off by booking via the link in bio.
