For the first time in a long time, we can take a breath.

Our sold-out season of This City is a Body at the Hyde Park Barracks Museum is over – and we can honestly state that CuriousWorks has never done something which generated so much stunning, positive feedback from so many different people before.

It’s not often you get to put on a show in one of Sydney’s oldest and most beautiful buildings – a show that challenges and celebrates what the city is built on. It’s even more rare to be able to share your
creations with so many different, appreciative people from across the city – from Koori aunties to recent migrants to attentive groups of eastern suburbs school kids.

One punter even wrote to the organisers of the Sydney Writer’s Festival, stating that we’d set such a high standard, he was worried the rest of his festival tickets might be a let down!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the final installment of The Migrant Projectsuch a success – especially the Historic Houses Trust for being open to bringing the cultures and
traditions of many Sydneysiders into one of the city’s most beautiful spaces. It means a great deal to us and was the perfect final installment to our live outings.
