The SIEVX Memorial Collaboration

The SIEVX National Memorial Project launched at Parliament House in October 2003 by author Steve Biddulph and Greens Leader Senator Bob Brown, is a nationwide young people's art collaboration, inviting secondary school art classes to submit designs for a national memorial to the 353 children, women and men who drowned in the refugee boat disaster of the same name, in October 2001.

The aim is to design and build a memorial site on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra, and by doing this to develop Australia's conscience and awareness of the needs of people fleeing terror beyond our shores. (See also stevebiddulph.com)
