Design unveiled for the National Memorial for Victims and Survivors of Institutional Child Sexual Abuse
The Canberra National Memorials Committee has approved the selected design for the National Memorial for Victims and Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse, allowing construction to commence later this year.
The successful design created by Jessica Spresser and Peter Besley is titled ‘Transparency and Truth’ and features pathways framed by a series of glass archways that signify strength, fragility and great resilience in recognition of people with lived experience of institutional child sexual abuse. It will be surrounded by a field of wildflowers.
