Where: Tower Three South Lobby, International Towers, Barangaroo Sydney

Friday Ritual connects the creative industry with the public. Simple, scalable structures – designed to dance with the wind – will be sculpted by artist Matthew Aberline, with the Beautiful and Useful Studio, during the day and released in a moment of ritual on Friday afternoons, as the precinct transitions from business to pleasure.

Matthew will set up his equipment, crafting the structures in the foyer of International Tower 3 inviting members of the public to contribute to the creative process or to simply marvel at it as an onlooker.

Then, at dusk as these delightful creations will parade through the precinct, arriving at Waterman’s Cove, where they will be set up and displayed to the sounds of local choirs.

Construction in the International Towers from 10am – 5pm
Procession through the Streets of Barangaroo from 5:15pm
