See Skywhale and Skywhalepapa as the sun rises.
Skywhalepapa is a monumental sculpture in the form of a hot-air balloon. Together with its companion piece Skywhale they form a skywhale family. As the skywhales float across the dawn skies, Piccinini calls on communities to engage with them creatively.
Make a morning of it, prepare a picnic, watch in awe, and sing along in wonder as the skywhale family takes flight.
