Bradfield City Centre joins Sydney WorldPride 2023 with first-of-its-kind installation
Visitors from across the globe will get their first taste of WorldPride 2023 as they fly into Sydney over a spectacular Progress Pride flag installation at the site of Bradfield City Centre.
Designed by Sydney-based public artists Adam Lowe and Amigo and Amigo, the installation is made up of 209 individual triangles and occupies a staggering 80 metre by 50 metre site.
Western Parkland City Authority CEO Sarah Hill said the installation, titled Pride Parkland celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community in the Western Parkland City and across Sydney and will be in place for the duration of Sydney WorldPride, which runs from 17 February to 5 March.
“Pride Parkland takes the shapes and colours of our LGBTQIA+ history and progress, reflecting the meandering flows of water and creeks in the Bradfield City Centre,” Dr Hill said.
“It celebrates the strong sense of place and will stand as a welcome to all at a local, national and global level.
“Our vision for Bradfield City Centre is of an inclusive city which embraces all - this installation is the first of its kind on the site and marks the beginning of a cultural and creative tradition in Bradfield City Centre.”

Sydney WorldPride Chief Executive Kate Wickett said she can’t wait to see a fantastic display of support for the LGBTQIA+ community this month.
“It is so exciting to see organisations of all kinds across Sydney – from public institutions to businesses – embrace WorldPride in such a positive way.”
Founder and CEO of Adam Lowe Group Adam Lowe found inspiration for the installation from his childhood.
“The installation itself is inspired by my growing up as a gay person in this area – the creeks and bushland I played in as a child nearby are what spoke to me most and they’re reflected in the flowing shape of the piece,” Mr Lowe said.
