For NAIDOC Week, 477 Pitt St lobby and shared sitting room have been transformed into a living showcase of First Nations art. Two digital totems bring moving artwork by Presten Warren into the building's entrance, while four physical works by Alejandro Lauren bring colour and story to the tranquil shared sitting room. Running for three months from 6 July, the activation invites the Tech Central community to sit with, and reflect on, First Nations culture, identity and connection to Country.
To mark NAIDOC Week, 477 Pitt St has partnered with Future Art to present a First Nations exhibition spanning both digital and physical mediums.
In the lobby, two digital totems present moving artwork by Presten Warren, a proud Wirangu, Dieri, Kokatha, Mirning and Arabana man. His works "Interconnected" and "Ocean & Country" bring the stories, symbols and songlines of his desert and ocean heritage to life in motion, greeting visitors as they move through the building.
In the tranquil shared sitting room, four physical works by Alejandro Lauren invite a slower, more reflective encounter. Alejandro, also known as Wayde Clarke, is a proud gay Wiradjuri and Birpai man whose practice explores identity, vulnerability and connection through colour and emotion.
Together, the two bodies of work offer Tech Central's community a moment to engage with contemporary First Nations art in both fleeting and lingering ways, on screen and in the room. The exhibition runs for three months from 6 July 2026 to 6 October 2026.
