'Hope' by Hiromi Tango is a dynamic digital projection artwork that uses the facade of the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Hyde Park Barracks as its canvas, absorbing the stories within and connecting them with visitors today. The work responds to the history of the Barracks as a place that provided refuge to people who, for various reasons, found themselves in vulnerable situations.
The artwork appears nightly, when the building becomes a powerful beacon featuring the recorded voices of people reflecting on the rich history of the Barracks and its significant archaeological collection. The artwork is enriched by an audio and visual collage that provides context and inspiration as people share their deeply personal stories of hope.
Accompanying the digital projection are five large-scale 'hope flowers' that welcome visitors through the gates, and 'Hope garden', a textile-based installation that will grow throughout the artwork display period.
Visit the Hyde Park Barracks after dark. Projection on nightly from 6pm to 10pm.

'Hope' is proudly supported by the NSW Government through the Blockbusters Funding initiative.
