M. Suarez - Sea Of Hands


The Sea of Hands is ANTaR's primary public education initiative and Australia's largest public art installation. The Sea of Hands has been installed in every major city and many regional locations throughout Australia, and continues to gather signatures everywhere it appears.


You can add your hand to the Sea of Hands online and by doing so you will add your voice to the growing number of Australians calling for.

Their goals are:

  • justice for Indigenous peoples;
  • for the right to be themselves, to enjoy their cultures, languages, laws and traditions;
  • to have their rights to land and cultural heritage respected and protected.


Since then, over 250,000 Australians have signed their names on one of 120,000 plastic hands that make up the Sea of Hands, to show their support for Native Title and Reconciliation

The hands of the Sea Of Hands show the colors of the Aboriginal flag: black, red and yellow. Black represents their color of skin, red represents Mount Uluru (Ayers Rock) that they adore or the red ground of Australia & yellow represents the sun.

There are some typically Australian animals, for example, the Koala bears, the Kangaroos...

The organisation Antar tries to help Aboriginal people & help everybody to know them & to respect them & their traditions.
