NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life.

The early start and late finish for the day did not deter 49 students from taking the opportunity to travel to Brisbane to view Sugar Spin, an exhibition celebrating the 10th birthday of GOMA. Sugar Spin is a fun exhibition that features more than 250 contemporary artworks and includes many interactive displays. Students enjoyed sliding on the metal slide from the top floor to ground level. The slide is by artist Carsten Holler, a former biologist who creates works to make scientific and philosophical experiments with the aim of reshaping expectations about art. There was an interactive piece by artist Olafur Eliasson where students could play with thousands of white lego blocks to build their own city. (Continued on page 2) Students could stroke a furry wall made of soft fluorescent coloured synthetic hair by artists Hrafnhildur Arnardottir. The hair covered a large section of wall and cascaded down and over various shapes to the floor. A work by Celeste Boursier-Mougenot allowed students to enter a room filled with three different species of live finches who flittered around three wire sculptures that made sounds when the birds landed on them.
