The Faces of Sydney Festival

Wesley Enoch, Aunty Millie Ingram, and Lille Madden, Uncle Allen Madden, were the 2021’s Faces of Sydney Festival – an ongoing project documenting individuals who make Sydney Festival the incredible experience it is today. Artist Thea Anamara Perkins – an Arrernte and Kalkadoon woman – was commissioned to create four bold portraits of the First Nations people who have been an intrinsic part of the Festival over the years, to mark Wesley Enoch’s incredible tenure as Artistic Director of Sydney Festival.
