Re-Dream: Portals of time and measures for change

Re-Dream envisions healing of what has been contaminated on Cockatoo Island, through a revival of symbiotic habitats and an improvement of the relationships between the land, water, and all living users. Inspired by the stories of Dreamtime, the museum zones are categorized as Reflection, Reaching Out, Heal and Live On. Every space bears within it portals that transport visitors through time- a memory of the past, the conditions of the present and the opportunities for the future. Thus, the themes of reflection, this museum of mending and learning explores strategies to preserve the memory of Sydney’s deep-rooted association to the harbour and restore its sanctity.
