Public art projectAustralian artists Arif Satar and Audrey Fernandes-Satar were selected as lead artists for the public art project for the new Hedland Health Campus. They teamed with Ross Councillor, community advisor for the Hedland Health Campus development, to collaborate and engage with local indigenous groups on a design feature for the hospital's courtyard area. This consultation process began in Port Hedland in August 2009. The primary aim of the consultation process was to collaborate and engage with the community to develop the content of the work and to address elements of the history, life and culture of South Hedland through collaborations with the Custodians of the land, the Kariyarra people, and other indigenous groups. The artists have recently completed the installation of the artwork underneath the external pergolas, which will also be visible from the air.
