Museums of History NSW is delighted to announce a dramatic new art installation by renowned multidisciplinary artist Hiromi Tango, on display at the Hyde Park Barracks from 12 April 2025.

Hope is a dynamic digital projection artwork that uses the facade of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed site as its canvas, absorbing the stories within and connecting them with visitors today. The work responds to the history of the Barracks as a place that provided refuge for people who, for various reasons, found themselves in vulnerable situations.

The artwork appears nightly, when the building becomes a powerful beacon featuring the recorded voices of people reflecting on the rich history of the Barracks and its significant archaeological collection. The artwork is enriched by an audio and visual collage that provides context and inspiration as people share their deeply personal stories of hope.

Accompanying the digital projection are five large-scale 'hope flowers' that welcome visitors through the gates, and Hope garden, a textile-based installation that will grow throughout the artwork display period.

Hope garden is a collaborative artwork created from a series of workshops bringing together people from all walks of life, including those whose voices and perspectives are less often heard, to make small flower artworks using colourful upcycled materials while sharing personal reflections on the universal theme of hope.

Visit the Hyde Park Barracks after dark. Projection on nightly to 10pm.

The museum will be open until late every night 12-27 April (closed Good Friday). Last entry to the museum at 7.45pm.
