Exploring the integration of Indigenous histories into Melbourne's urban landscape, the book examines how official commemorations have emerged since 2000. It highlights the transformation of public spaces through monuments, memorials, and artworks that acknowledge the city's settler-colonial past while challenging the silence surrounding its Indigenous heritage. By analyzing these historical markers in everyday locations, the narrative reveals their impact on public memory and the evolving understanding of reconciliation in contemporary society.
