The 2017 Festival celebrating the Year of the Rooster will take place from late January 2017 for 16 days. The City of Sydney (the City) produced elements include the Lunar Lantern exhibition, Dragon Boat Races and the Lunar Feasts restaurant program. This is supported by a community performance program, and an extensive schedule of over 80 partnered events. The Lunar Lanterns exhibition was held for the first time in 2016 across a nine day period, and was the main component of the Chinese New Year Festival.

The Redfern Terrace is a community based project to renovate the remaining end terrace at 36 Caroline Street, on the corner of Caroline and Hugo Streets, Redfern. Proposed to become a 'living museum', the terrace will house material documenting the lives of Aboriginal people on and around The Block.
The content will creatively engage with past and present day cultural, social and political stories: from the daily lives of residents, to significant community enterprises, and local events that made national headlines.
Inspired by the Tenement Museum in New York that presents immigrant stories, and Susannah Place Museum in The Rocks that depicts the lives of former residents, the Redfern Terrace could be a destination or starting point for a future Redfern Tour. It is envisaged that the Redfern Terrace will become an important artwork and iconic landmark in a rapidly changing urban environment.
As the project poses the opportunity for significant community consultation, the Redfern Terrace may also provide opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to develop temporary art projects and events that bring the history of Redfern and the Aboriginal history of Sydney to a wider audience.
Essentially, the purpose of this artist brief is to invite artists to register their interest in the project and submit a transformational idea to activate the terrace through local histories and stories.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, working independently or in collaboration with Indigenous or non-Indigenous artists or designers, are invited to submit proposals for a major public artwork of enduring and memorable significance to honour the Eora, the Aboriginal people of Sydney, and recognise the Gadigal clan as the traditional custodians of the City of Sydney local area. Eora means 'the people' in the Gadigal language, so the Eora Journey is the 'People's Journey'.
It is of paramount importance that artists strictly observe cultural protocols throughout the entire process of proposing a concept. Artists are encouraged to consult with the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council, Elders and relevant cultural authorities. Located in the heart of Australia's global city and international gateway, the artwork will be a landmark of national and international significance and be a place that receives visitors from across Australia and overseas.
Beyond being a marker of a place, the intention for the commission is to symbolically represent or evoke the layered histories and diverse stories of Sydney. It is hoped that the artwork will become a beacon for the Indigenous community offering recognition in the public domain of the Aboriginal community's enduring presence in Sydney.
