Introducing Meeras Pavilion: a large-scale interactive artwork to be installed at Customs House to raise awareness and connect audiences with Rohingya people.

Meeras means "heritage" in the Rohingya language, and the public artwork celebrates Rohingya culture and invites people to build a deeper understanding of the more than 1.2 million refugees who have been displaced or fled extreme violence in Myanmar since 2017.

It's the latest instalment of the City's Art & About program, which delivers everything from major installations to intimate exhibitions in unusual and unexpected places – part of our commitment to ensuring our streets are buzzing and culture and creativity is accessible to all.

I hope you can pop into Customs House between 25 September and 6 October to share in this intimate experience.

“Everything now has to rise from the ashes. But if anything, Nepali people have also been resilient. They succeeded at a lot of things despite the state.
What if we can imagine a state that is not extractive, but a state that enables? To have a more representative democracy in which leaders actually listen to their constituencies? To be a more equitable society which incorporates not just the mainstream narrative, but also those of the marginalised and the minorities?
To do so means to look at the world with kindness, to believe not in revenge but in resolution, and to believe there can be a better Nepal than the one we burnt down. It is up to the youth now. ”——Amish Mulmi

“现在一切都必须从灰烬中重生。但至少，尼泊尔人民一直都很坚韧。他们曾在国家不作为的情况下依然取得了许多成就。

如果我们能够想象一种国家，不是掠夺性的，而是赋能型的呢？一种更具代表性的民主，领导人真正倾听选民的声音？一种更为平等的社会，不仅涵盖主流叙事，也纳入被边缘化者和少数群体的声音？

要做到这些，就意味着要以善意看待世界，要相信解决而不是复仇，要相信可以有一个比我们亲手焚毁的那个更好的尼泊尔。现在，一切取决于年轻人。”——尼泊尔作家/记者Amish Mulmi

In reference to the 2025 Sydney Peace Prize Laureate, the venerable Judge Navi Pillay, Sydney Peace Foundation founder and member of our Advisory Board Emeritus Professor Stuart Rees says:

“Her courage in public life appears influenced largely by her legal knowledge and judicial skills, but to emphasise that dimension of her work would mean overlooking the tenets of humour, humility and a basic humanity, without which we are all lost.”
