Biennale of Sydney

Working Memory is a dynamic program of experimental performance works presented by Inner West Council at the 25th Biennale of Sydney, Rememory, at White Bay Power Station.

Embedded in the walls of White Bay Power station is the labour of those who brought it to life, and those who kept the lights on in Sydney. The thousands of workers contributed more than bricks, mortar and coal to the building. They brought energy, connection and care with one another.
