National Gallery of Australia - Canberra, ACT

  Heads from the North is a memorial to those affected by events following an unsuccessful military coup in Indonesia, in September 1965. The brutal suppression that followed had devastating consequences for the nation, leading to mass killings in late 1965 and early 1966.

Barely holding their heads above water, the sixty-six bronze sculptures signify the lives lost over that period of time.
