About the Artwork – Freedom Called
Painted on ANZAC Day 2021, Freedom Called is a tribute to the courage, service and sacrifices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and women who have served Australia, often without receiving the recognition and equality they deserved.
First Nations Australians have served in Australia's military forces since the 19th century, contributing on land, at sea and in the air. Despite their service and sacrifice, many returned home to face the same discrimination and prejudice they had experienced before leaving.
The artwork features the symbolic red and purple poppies. The red poppy honours fallen servicemen and women, while the purple poppy remembers the animals who served alongside them.
Freedom Called takes its name from a song by Indigenous Australian singer-songwriter David Arden, whose powerful lyrics reflect the struggle for recognition, respect and equality.
This painting honours not only those who fought for their country, but also those who fought for the dignity and freedom that should belong to everyone.
