What are Skywhales
Skywhales Across Australia will see Patricia Piccinini’s beloved Skywhale 2013 and Skywhalepapa 2019-2020 take their family on another tour of Australia.
In the form of two monumental hot air balloons, the skywhale family represents nature, family, evolution, care and wonder – it is a simple story, but a beautiful and uplifting one.
This touring exhibition presents a rare opportunity for regional Australians to experience the magic of the skywhales within their own community.
