About this event
Written and illustrated by Sam Wallman In the mid-20th century, a group of worker-artists created the Wharfies Mural, on display in the museum. They captured the industrial and political struggles of their time. Today, the wharves are dominated by smart machines rather than muscular men. But has everything changed so radically? Artist and wharfie Sam Wallman’s provides a fresh, first-hand take on contemporary dock life. His work bridges the past and present, social commentary and storytelling.
