The sails of the Sydney Opera House are illuminated by a projection of artwork by Kamilaroi woman and artist Rhonda Sampson on January 26, 2023 in Sydney, Australia. Sampson says her artwork reflects the site of Tubowgule, on which the Opera House sits, and its history past, present and future. Australia Day, formerly known as Foundation Day, is the official national day of Australia and is celebrated annually on January 26 to commemorate the arrival of the First Fleet to Sydney in 1788. Many indigenous Australians refer to the day as 'Invasion Day' and there is a growing movement to change the date to one which can be celebrated by all Australians.
