Creative Road worked with The National Film and Sound Archive to deliver ‘TEMPLE’ a collaborative artwork by artist Leila Jeffreys and filmmaker and artist Melvin J. Montalban as part of the NFSA’s 40th Anniversary celebrations.

The artwork, an immersive and reflective audiovisual installation was restaged as a centrepiece to the celebrations and pays homage to the expressive and idiosyncratic native cockatoo.

'TEMPLE' was initially made for Vivid Sydney 2022, commissioned by Destination NSW.
