Telling stories through art: Naggangbi transforms Tempe cycle path

Today our team joined the community in celebrating the unveiling of Naggangbi, an extraordinary 800-metre public artwork now bringing life and colour to the Alexandra Canal Cycle Path in Tempe.

Commissioned by Sydney Desalination Plant Pty Limited (SDP), Naggangbi is the work of artists Carmen Glynn-Braun and Dennis Golding of The Re-Right Collective. It’s a bold and vibrant mural that not only transforms a stretch of public infrastructure but also honours culture, storytelling, and connection to Country.

The Collective worked closely with local artists and curators Dakota Dixon and Wirin Lowe, who advised on specific elements of the mural. The artwork itself was painted by Indigo Jo, curated by Cultural Capital, with language by Gujaga Foundation, each layer adding depth and meaning to the final piece.

Primary has been working with Sydney Desalination Plant for the past five years on various projects, and this one will see our Create team produce a short film capturing the full story of the mural – from concept to creation – told through the voices of the artists who brought Naggangbi to life and community members.

We’re proud to play a part in sharing this important story, and grateful to Sydney Desalination Plant and the artists for trusting us to help bring it to a wider audience.
