THE latest work by artists Sandra Hill and Jenny Dawson were publicly unveiled last weekend at Weld Square as part of a Naidoc Week event.
The event was also commemoration of The Coolbaroo League, which was a social club formed in 1946 by Aboriginal people when they were not permitted to enter the city.
From the 1950s, the League held weekly dances on the outskirts of the restricted zone, across from Weld Square, as a haven of hope for Aboriginal people.
The City of Vincent and Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority commissioned artwork by Hill and Dawson, which commemorates and includes personal stories about the Coolbaroo League.
The volume on the interactive audio of the sculpture seemed a bit low which might be why the area is once again closed off.

Saw a exhibition on the subject at UWA last year.
