The Festival of Darwin (August 13 to 31) is a vibrant arts and cultural event with an eclectic and substantial programme that takes advantage of Darwin's dry season weather and outdoor venues. This year as part of the Darwin Festival it is planned to create a mosaic as a piece of public art on the walkway of the Esplanade in Darwin, depicting the Aboriginal story of how water came to Darwin. In conjunction with the Aboriginal community of the area, the Larrakia people, the mosaic will be a visual display of the stories, communications, and cultural sharing that make up Darwin’s society. During the community event, Kultura, on Saturday 16th August, children and general public will be invited to lay stones as part of the surrounding mini mosaics. The main feature has been designed and will be rendered by a professional artist.
