Anyone could have their Name in Lights

REBECCA KHOURY

Anyone could have their name in lights—a way to feel like you are part of something, even for a fleeting moment, without having to totally put yourself out there.

I remember walking to work and seeing the John Baldessari installation on the Australian Museum and loving the inclusiveness of this project.

Anyone could have their name in lights—a way to feel like you are part of something, even for a fleeting moment, without having to totally put yourself out there.

I walked back on my own to see my name up there.

It’s one of my favourite Sydney memories.
