    Sydney: Tales of sunlight and shadow

    Faces in the street

    Whose city? This lecture throws a spotlight on some of the city’s characters, including Mei Quong Tart, Joseph Cindric the “Trolley Man”, and Juanita Nielsen. We look at their contemporary and posthumous contributions to the evolving and shifting “story” of Sydney; each made a different claim on the city and the idea of what kind of place it could be.
