First Light | Skywhales Across Australia | BLEACH* 2025

In partnership with National Gallery of Australia.
Kick off the BLEACH* 2025 Arts Festival at sunrise with Firstlight l Skywhales Across Australia.

Skywhale and Skywhalepapa as the sun rises. Skywhalepapa is a monumental sculpture in the form of a hot-air balloon. Together with its companion piece Skywhale they form a skywhale family. As the skywhales float across the dawn skies, Piccinini calls on communities to engage with them creatively. Make a morning of it, prepare a picnic, watch in awe, and sing along in wonder as the skywhale family takes flight.
