PACT REWIND

Late 1960s, early 70s 173–185 Sussex Street, in so-called Sydney

What was the Corn Exchange (a fresh fruit market) became PACT – a home for artists and creatives across the city.
This building stills stands today. The body of water pictured behind the building is Darling Harbour.

In 2021, PACT commissioned a street mural called Heal Country by MadWings – artists Maddison Gibbs (Barkindji) and Jason Wing (Biripi, Cantonese) which is on the walls of our wonderful space here at 107 Railway Parade, Erskineville. Below are a few “before,” photos taken in 2020, then photos taken by Coti Cibils and Charlotte Mackie Pawson which show “after,” the mural was complete.
