Six contemporary artists working across performance, music, craft, installation and video, were commissioned to create public works that responded to key moments in the City of Kingston’s history.

Through workshops, site visits and historical talks, community members worked with artists to develop and deliver a creative response to each story. The works were presented via a public art bus tour across two weekends in May; featuring voice-over stories told by legendary Australian actor Michael Caton, the tour took passengers on a 2-hour experience that stopped at six locations where each historical moment originally occurred.
